The US authorities insist that Pelosi's trip is in line with the US position, which adheres to the “one China” policy. At the same time, Washington emphasized that they see no reason for Beijing to step up “aggressive actions” against Taiwan against this background. The United States considered the Chinese military exercises an irresponsible provocation and escalation of the situation and called for an immediate halt to the maneuvers. According to Politico, the US military command tried to contact the Chinese army, but Beijing did not respond to inquiries.
Taiwan also demanded to abandon the show of force. “We would like to urge the Chinese government not to rely on its own military power, showing muscles everywhere and hindering regional peace,” said Taiwanese premier Su Zhenchang. The Ministry of Defense of the island noted that the Chinese armed forces are working out an attack on the island.

Since March, Taiwan has been on the list of countries unfriendly to Russia, but Moscow does not officially recognize the independence of the island. Pelosi's visit to the ministry was considered a provocation and an attempt to distract from internal problems and the situation in Ukraine. “What is the need for this wild action now? This is required by the political situation,»,— believes Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry noted that Russia adheres to the principle of “one China” and opposes “any encroachment on sovereignty” China. “Beijing is ready to strengthen strategic interaction with Russia”, — emphasized the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Wang Yi.
