China does not give up its intentionsOfficial Taipei draws attention to the connection between Taiwanese President Lai Tsingdes visits to the United States and the large deployment of Chinese naval forces.It is quite possible that this was a show of force on Beijings part.We cannot ignore the fact that the PRC has announced a partial restriction of air traffic for two days in seven zones covering the coast from Shanghai to Hong Kong.According to journalists, there has been no statement from the Peoples Liberation Army of China, despite the fact that Xis team usually conducts propaganda campaigns against Taiwan.On December 9, Taiwans Ministry of Defense set up an emergency response center and conducted a surprise drill.
According to officials, the threat level was serious.How are these events being commented on in the USAAccording to American officials, while Chinas military activity in the East China and South China Seas has indeed increased, it is in line with the levels seen during other major exercises.US authorities believe this is not a response to Lais brief visits to the States.
It is crucial to distinguish between a coercive campaign in response to a leaders visit to another country and a regular largescale regional exercise.
China has chosen not to respond to Lais actions, said a U.S.
official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
What is important to understand is that the assessment of Beijings actions differs significantly in Taiwan and the United States.According to journalists, this could lead to confusion and uncertainty among allies.
