“Yes, on August 28 our ship entered the Taiwan Strait as scheduled, a voyage that was in full compliance with international law and demonstrated our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific region... We intend to continue to fly, sail and sail wherever international law allows and in accordance with the principles of freedom of navigation,” Jean-Pierre said at a regular press briefing.
She stressed that such a course of conduct, in her opinion, meets Washington's goals of protecting regional security and stability.
At the same time, Jean-Pierre added that Washington has not abandoned the "one China" policy, but will protect Taiwan's security interests. In this regard, she recalled the passage of two US Navy missile cruisers through the Taiwan Strait last weekend.
Tensions around Taiwan escalated after a visit to the island by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. China, which considers the island a province, condemned the visit, seeing it as US support for Taiwanese separatism, and has conducted large-scale military exercises.
