China has ignored the Pentagon after the Pelosi trip that has incensed the PLA into doing more military drills over the visit. The US induced an uneasy silence from the government of the mainland People's Republic of China, and the growing exercises are driving Washington insane with anxiety over Nancy Pelosi's trip.

US Calls To Keep Lines Open With the PLA

According to Politico, Beijing saw the visit to Taiwan as excessively provocative, and so the PLA opted to show off its military prowess.

Given the harm the House Speaker has caused, Washington expects Xi Jinping to respond to its requests rather than disregard them, reported RT.

According to the three people who leaked the information, the Biden administration's defense officials, from Mark Milley to Lloyd Austin, have been dismissed and disrespected.

Milley spoke with General Li Zuocheng of China's Joint Staff on July 7; Austin had face-to-face conversations with General Wei Fenghe of China's Defense Ministry in June, noted Azerbaycan 24.

Beijing made the decision to sever diplomatic ties with Washington in militaries and civilian concerns last Friday. Chinese officials will no longer communicate with the Pentagon on several topics, based on a a list issued by China's foreign ministry.

In a statement, China has also suspended crucial negotiations on climate, maritime security, return of illegal immigrants, legal assistance in criminal cases, and against transnational criminality and drug trafficking, citing Aniqlo.

The Biden administration is not acknowledging the trip to Taiwan is a failure Since the Chinese military has not responded to the White House's calls for comment yet, it is now asserting that with Joe Biden in office its not getting better.

John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, suggested that Beijing is erring by not communicating with Washington, which warned not to proceed with Pelosi's trip. But the snub continues; before this, Mohammed Bin-Salman did the same thing to Washington.

Although the NSA spokesman was struck by a dead silence on Friday, he said that the quantity of weapons near Taiwan has to be reviewed. The Chinese chose to wait and see what would happen rather than intervene.

China Holds Drills Near Taiwan

After the brief visit of the American official, there were pretty much unheard-of military drills and live-fire drills in six maritime locations.

According to the Chinese military ministry, the bulk of PLA training exercises is related to retaking Taipei and involve blockades, sea operations against targets, and ground attacks.

China views visit like Pelosi's as assaults on its independence and a breach of the One-China principle, which forbids most states from officially acknowledging Taiwan because China considers Taiwan to be an integral part of its territory.

The US acknowledges Beijing as the only official government in China since 1979, Though it keeps close informal links with the 23.5-million-person island, routinely selling weapons to Taipei and supporting its efforts to gain statehood.

China snubbed the Pentagon as it worried over the increased military drills near Taiwan, Beijing wanted Washington there will be consequences that will not be liked.
