Britain on Wednesday joined

the U.S., European Union and Japan in expressing concern over

Chinese military exercises around Taiwan, calling for restraint

and to avoid actions that undermine peace in the region.



"We are concerned by China’s military exercises around

Taiwan, part of a pattern of activity which is increasing

tensions and risking dangerous escalation in the Taiwan Strait,"

a spokesperson for Britain's Foreign Office said.



"The UK reaffirms our clear interest in peace and stability

in the Taiwan Strait, which is of critical importance to global

prosperity, and our support for a free and open Indo-Pacific."
