Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Defense warned China on Friday that it would face "severe consequences" if it took military action against Taiwan.
The warning came in a statement from Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, who said that the United States would "take all necessary steps to defend Taiwan" from any Chinese aggression.
"We will continue to work with our allies and partners to ensure peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," Kirby said. "Any use of force by China to resolve the Taiwan issue would have severe consequences."
The statement comes amid growing tensions between China and Taiwan. China has been increasing its military presence in the Taiwan Strait, and has vowed to eventually unify the island with the mainland.
Taiwan is a self-governing island that China claims as its own. The United States has a policy of "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan, meaning that it does not explicitly state whether it would defend the island in the event of a Chinese attack.
However, the United States has been providing Taiwan with military assistance, including arms sales and training.
The Pentagon's warning to China is a significant escalation in rhetoric. It suggests that the United States is willing to take a more active role in defending Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack.
