Washington is calling white black claiming China 'manufactured crisis'
As predicted, the United States has brazenly sought to put the blame on China after Beijing took a series of justified measures in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reckless visit to Taiwan last week.
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on Friday that the US has "nothing to rectify" over Taiwan, and called Beijing's moves "irresponsible". These moves include military drills around the island, sanctions on Pelosi and suspending and canceling exchanges with the US in various fields, including the military and climate change.
In his address at a foreign ministers' meeting the Association of Southeast Asian Nations hosted in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Thursday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Beijing "not to manufacture a crisis" and not to "seek a pretext" to increase its "provocative military activities".
