US President Joe Biden voiced his concern Monday over China's extension of military drills around Taiwan, but added that he did not expect the tense situation to escalate further.
Biden spoke to reporters after Beijing said it carried out fresh military drills around the self-ruled island on Monday, defying calls to end days of exercises in the wake of a visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The military exercises, China's largest-ever, had been expected to draw to a close on Sunday.
"I'm not worried, but I'm concerned they're moving as much as they are. But I don't think they're going to do anything more than they are," Biden told reporters at Dover Air Force Base.

He does not have a clue. He just wants to know where his ice cream cone is.
What the heck Joe? Are you afraid the checks will stop coming?
Well, as long as the veg-it-a-ble thinks they won’t do anything more....then I’m ok with that.
Who can argue with his expert and probing analysis?
REALLY, who has our launch codes?
Yeah, same idiot who assured us that Putin wasn’t going to invade Ukraine. He just knows things y’see.
If you were President Xi and you wanted to take Taiwan, wouldn’t this be the time to do it?
Last night has alone has thrown the country into political chaos. Expect even more.
No more computer chips for us!
Oh wait, that's already a daily occurrence.
Germany lost both world wars because they had too many enemies and fought on too many fronts. The American left is making the same mistake. They won’t be able to handle conflict with China and Russia and an internal successionist movement all at the same time.
Biden is concerned that if he says anything he will have to give the money back.
At this point I dont give a rats ass about China, we’ve got bigger problems here.
China ordered the raid on Trump to ratchet up the chaos while they start moving.
They control the top levels of power now.
Biden has no idea what's going on.
Everyone is talking about this SCARY Joe Biden moment with Schumer 10 second video
SAD video of utterly helpless Joe Biden has Americans cringing hard 42 second video
Proof that we're still a representative republic.
Who better to represent the libtarded Democrat voters of today?
If you were President Xi and you wanted to take Taiwan, wouldn’t this be the time to do it?
A few days ago, someone posted a comparison of Okinawa and Taiwan. Taiwan is much larger, has higher mountains, and a much higher population. It took us three months to take over Okinawa and we did it with forces who had been fighting the Japanese for four years. How good is Xi’s army? Can/would the R.O.C. target the Three Gorges Dam?
“China ordered the raid on Trump to ratchet up the chaos while they start moving.”
I must wonder if China order Pelosi to visit Taiwan, to create a reason to invade.
The Chinese can exercise all they want but if they have determined that the people of Taiwan will fight as hard as the Ukrainians, they will never actually attack. Comrade Xi knows better than anyone that an attack across 90 miles of open ocean by his army of one child combat inexperienced soldiers armed with untested locally produced ships, planes and equipment is not guaranteed success. Failure would be extremely unpleasant for Comrade Xi, his family and sycophants. There will be no invasion of Taiwan.
“Can/would the R.O.C. target the Three Gorges Dam?”
Yes, Taiwan has good missile technology. A CCP invasion would make Ukraine look like a walk in the park.
However, I am inclined to think it is going to happen. The CCP has a partial blockade. The military drills are very similar to what Russia was doing before the invasion of Ukraine.
And the largest force opposing the CCP effectively has no commander in chief. That’s a big problem. It’s hard to run any organization by committee. Especially when you’re busy waging war against half of your own population.
Go back to sleep, Joetato.
