U.S Dept. of State - Press Statement. Response to China’s Military Exercise Near Taiwan

Press Statement

JANUARY 1, 2026

China’s military activities and rhetoric toward Taiwan and others in the region increase tensions unnecessarily. We urge Beijing to exercise restraint, cease its military pressure against Taiwan, and instead engage in meaningful dialogue. The United States supports peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and opposes unilateral changes to the status quo, including by force or coercion.​
