Taiwanese Vice President William Lai's recent trip to Paraguay to reinforce relations with his government's last diplomatic partner in South America included stops in San Francisco and New York City.
It posted a video on Facebook that showed previous military drills and said the Chinese military exercises reflected a militaristic mentality.
China's official Xinhua news agency on Saturday reported that an unnamed official in China's Taiwan Work Office strongly condemned what it called further collusion between Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party and the US and said it was a "new provocative move."The official pointed to the stopovers in the US, an interview Lai gave to news outlet Bloomberg and his meeting with US officials in Paraguay, the report said.
Taiwan's foreign minister, Joseph Wu, wrote on the X platform that China "has made it clear it wants to shape" the island's national election, and attached the command's statement and the Xinhua report in his post. "It's up to our citizens to decide, not the bully next door," he wrote.
