Taiwan's foreign ministry has expressed its "sincere gratitude" to the United
States for taking "concrete actions" to maintain security and peace in the
Taiwan Strait and the region.


KEY POINTS:

 * Taiwan's foreign ministry said China's action "further strengthened the unity
   and resilience of the global democratic camp"
 * The island was responding to US Indo-Pacific coordinator Kurt Campbell, who
   said China had "overreacted" to Nancy Pelosi's visit
 * He said China used Ms Pelosi's visit as a pretext to change the status quo in
   the Taiwan Strait



The statement came in response to comments from US Indo-Pacific coordinator Kurt
Campbell, who said on Friday that China "overreacted" to US House of
Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. 

The foreign ministry statement said that China's "unprovoked military and
economy intimidation" had "further strengthened the unity and resilience of the
global democratic camp".

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said on Thursday that China's threat of force was
undiminished, even though Beijing's largest-ever military drills around the
island following Ms Pelosi's visit last week seemed to be scaling down.


WHY IS CHINA LESS LIKELY TO INVADE TAIWAN — FOR NOW

China's economic and social problems have been growing in recent months, and
Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan gave Beijing an opportunity to divert the
public's attention, writes Bang Xiao.

Earlier, Mr Campbell said China used Ms Pelosi's visit as a pretext to try to
change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.

The American response would be patient and effective, and the US presence and
posture in the region would account for China's more destabilising behaviour,
Campbell told reporters in a call.

"China has overreacted and its actions continue to be provocative, destabilising
and unprecedented," Mr Campbell said, calling it part of an "intensified
pressure campaign" against Taiwan.

"It has not ended and we expect it to continue to unfold in the coming weeks and
months," Mr Campbell said, adding that several Chinese warships remained around
Taiwan, a self-governed island.



WHY DOES CHINA WANT TAIWAN?

There's a long history of tension between China and Taiwan and the global
ramifications of this are complicated. Here's a quick guide to get you up to
speed on the situation.

Mr Campbell reiterated that the US would conduct standard air and maritime
transits through the Taiwan Strait in the coming weeks, and that it would
announce an "ambitious road map" for trade negotiations with Taiwan in the
coming days.

"And we will ensure that our presence, posture and exercise account for China's
more provocative and destabilising behaviour, with a view towards guiding the
situation in the western Pacific towards greater stability," he said.
