China had altered a decades-old understanding between Washington and Beijing on dealing with issues related to the status of Taiwan and is now holding up the possibility of using force, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.
China has made decisions on exerting more pressure on Taiwan, including the possibility of “using force to achieve their goals”, Blinken said on Wednesday at an event organised by Bloomberg News.
Blinken said that a four-decade-old status quo — in which the US recognised Beijing under the One China policy and also provided Taiwan with weapons for its defence — had “helped to make sure there wouldn’t be a conflict between the United States and China over Taiwan”.
