The US said it is 'monitoring Beijing's actions' after a visit to California by Taiwan's president.
By Matt Murphy & Christy CooneyChina has carried out a second day of naval drills around Taiwan, as tensions continue to mount after President Tsai Ing-wen's visit to the US last week.
On Saturday one of China's ships fired a round from its deck as it sailed near Pingtan island, China's closest point to Taiwan, Reuters news agency reported. Other footage showed a Taiwanese warship, the Di Hua, accompanying the Coast Guard ship in what the Coast Guard officer calls a "standoff" with the Chinese vessel.
A state department spokesperson said the US was "monitoring Beijing's actions closely" and insisted the US had "sufficient resources and capabilities in the region to ensure peace and stability and to meet our national security commitments".
