The Biden administration has called for “free, fair, open, and transparent elections” in Taiwan and warned against Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference after the self-ruling island reported seeing multiple Chinese balloons flying across the Taiwan Strait this week.
White House National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, John Kirby, issued the warning during a White House press briefing alongside press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Jan. 4, just days after Taiwan’s defense ministry said four alleged Chinese balloons were seen passing over the island.
The crossings come shortly before some 19.5 million Taiwanese voters are set to head to the polls to elect a new government for the next four years.
President and legislature elections are scheduled to take place in Taiwan on Jan. 13.
Asked by Epoch Times White House correspondent Emel Akan for the Biden administration’s response to the alleged CCP surveillance balloons spotted over Taiwan, Mr. Kirby said he could not confirm the reports.
