China foreign ministry: Urges US to stop creating new factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has issued a stern warning to the United States, urging it to cease actions that could lead to increased tensions in the Taiwan Strait. The statement comes amidst heightened military activity and diplomatic maneuvers involving both China and Taiwan.On May 30, 2025, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense reported detecting Chinese military activity, including vessels from the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) and an official ship, near Taiwan. Additionally, China launched satellites with a flight path over central Taiwan. The Ministry of National Defense (MND) noted that while no PLA aircraft were detected, the satellites posed no threat [1].
Meanwhile, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) criticized China for organizing summits for Taiwanese participants later this week, alleging that these gatherings aim to lecture rather than promote genuine cross-strait exchanges [1].
In a separate development, the U.S. plans to ramp up weapons sales to Taiwan over the next four years, potentially exceeding levels seen during President Donald Trump's first term. This move is part of an effort to enhance Taiwan's deterrence capabilities and ease concerns about Trump's commitment to the island [2].
The Chinese Foreign Ministry's warning comes as Taiwan's defense ministry has proposed increasing defense spending to 3% of its GDP, a move that has sparked concerns in Washington. The U.S. has been pressing opposition parties in Taiwan not to block this defense spending increase [2].
The Foreign Ministry's statement underscores the delicate balance between the U.S., China, and Taiwan. The escalation of military activities and diplomatic tensions highlights the need for cautious and measured responses from all parties involved.
