China has no justification
for using an annual national day speech by Taiwan as a pretext
for military pressure, a senior U.S. administration official
said on Wednesday.
The official made the comment to reporters ahead of a speech
by Taiwan President Lai Ching-te on Thursday, which is likely to
be followed by Chinese military drills, according to Taiwan
officials.
The U.S. official said Taiwan had briefed diplomatic
partners on Lai's speech, but the content of his remarks would
be up to Taiwan officials.
