Taiwan flare-up clouds Asia ministerial gathering as US, China trade barbs
China on Thursday cancelled talks with Japan over remarks made in a G7 statement on Taiwan and that same day, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi walked out moments before a gala dinner attended by his U.S. and Japanese counterparts, without giving a reason.
On Friday, Wang and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov walked out of a plenary session just as Japan's top diplomat, Yoshimasa Hayashi, spoke.
Wang called a rare news conference late on Friday, where he accused Blinken of spreading misinformation.
He called Pelosi's trip a "contemptible farce" and stressed China's military response to it was "firm, forceful and appropriate", and handled professionally.

ASEAN: America's Standing and Hypocrisy Don't Fly (none / 0)

Washington DC and the White House losing the PR fight ...

White House [NSC] spokesman John Kirby told the media on Thursday that "China has chosen to overreact and use the speaker's visit as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around the Taiwan Strait."

Kirby called China's actions part of a "manufactured crisis" but also said that Beijing was attempting to alter the regional power balance.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also said the same day that China had no reason to overreact after Pelosi's visit.
