US Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused China of undermining the decades-long status quo that has kept both nations from going to war over Taiwan, saying Beijing was trying to “speed up” its seizure of the island.

Asked about Xi’s power play in Beijing, Blinken said the US was focusing on how to shape the world order around China by strengthening partnerships with allies rather than trying to influence China’s internal dynamics.

“We’re closer than ever in history – and we’re more confident and capable than ever – of realising national rejuvenation,” Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, told a regular news briefing in Beijing. “Similarly, we’re also closer than ever in history – as well as more confident and capable – to realising the complete reunification of the motherland.”

The island, which is claimed by China, receives billions of dollars in advanced weapons from the US. President Joe Biden has become more explicit than his predecessors about US plans to come to the island’s defence in case of a Chinese invasion.
