The Chinese government regards Taiwan as a zone of key interests, and is ready to take strong measures to protect its territorial value. The Chinese Ministry of Defense also announced the military readiness of the army to protect stability in the Taiwan Strait. In response to the actions of the United States and Taiwan, China calls for an end to official contacts between the United States and Taiwan, as well as for reversing the development of relations with Taiwan and upholding the principle of "One China".

In addition, exercises have begun in China using bombers and fighters to demonstrate readiness to repel a possible threat from Taiwan and the United States. In turn, Taiwan said that it would not be the first initiator of the conflict, but was ready to defend its territorial integrity and independence. The United States, in turn, expressed support for Taiwan and declared its readiness to defend its allies and partners in the region. Recall that Taiwan is not officially recognized by the PRC and is considered its territory, but it has its own government, army and economy.
