After Mr Bidens administration reaffirmed its defence of Taiwan, close to 30 Chinese jets entered into its airspace on Saturday and Sunday. The Chinese government has now accused Taiwan forces of deliberately provoking China to seek secession. Speaking this week, Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson, Zhu Fenglian said: We will not renounce the use of force and reserve all options.

This will never change at any time.

Despite the Chinese military conducting drills often in the Taiwan Strait, it has maintained any actions are required to maintain peace in the region.

The Communist Party has also issued stern warnings to any state, namely the US, which has allegedly interfered in the South and East China Seas.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt was deployed to the South China Sea just days after Mr Bidens inauguration.

It was this deployment which caused China to dispatch a raft of military aircraft across the strait.

State Department spokesman, Ned Price said the US would continue to maintain its ties with Taiwan.

He said: The United States notes with concern the pattern of ongoing PRC attempts to intimidate its neighbours, including Taiwan.

"We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan's democratically elected representatives."

Although the administrations have switched in Washington, new Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken voiced his approval over Donald Trumps handling of China.

Speaking to a Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he said: Let me just say that I also believe that President Trump was right in taking a tougher approach to China.

"I disagree very much with the way that he went about it in a number of areas, but the basic principle was the right one, and I think that's actually helpful to our foreign policy.

Mr Blinken, who served as a deputy National Security Advisor and Deputy Secretary of State under Mr Obama, has also revealed the US must return as a global leader to the world and called for a unified approach to tackling Beijing.

He told staff today: Americas leadership is needed around the world, and we will provide it, because the world is far more likely to solve problems and meet challenges when the United States is there.

America at its best still has a greater capacity than any other country on earth to mobilise others for the greater good.

The US has already increased its naval presence in the region and has even strengthened ties with Australia, India and Japan.
