Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, a BBC commentator, said that this was the highest warning warning in China to the United States.

On the US side, President Biden affirmed that Washington did not seek to upset the relationship between the two countries, and warned that both sides should not do so.

President Biden emphasized that the US policy has not changed and Washington strongly opposed anyone who changed the status quo or weakened peacefully and stabilized in the Taiwan Strait, Karine Jean-Pierre, Secretary of the Press House.

The statement of President Biden then received response from the Taiwanese leaders as well as those with tough stance in Washington, but stumbled fiercely from Beijing.

The tension continues to increase after much information that US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi will visit Taiwan in August. Although there is no official announcement, Ms. Pelosi has asked other National Assembly members to join the trip.

Information about Ms. Pelosi's trip has sparked a wave of fierce opposition from China, when Beijing warned the US would bear the consequences if the Chairman of the House of Representatives visited Taiwan, even leaving an open action.

This threat has made the Pentagon right to plan for military measures to ensure the security for the visit if Pelosi decided to leave.
