China: Military ready to respond to all US provocation
|A Chinese military command spokesperson said on Wednesday, Beijing’s military is ready to respond to all provocation while referring to the US.
China’s highly influential media outlet, Global Times, added, “as the US moves to intentionally stir up trouble in the region.”
This comes after a guided-missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG-54) sailed “through international waters in accordance with international law.”
The destroyer makes sixth Taiwan strait transit during President Joe Biden's administration, thus far.
Market reaction
The above headlines fail to deter the risk-on mood, spurred by softer rhetoric from Fed Chair Powell.
The US dollar index is attempting a recovery towards 92.00 while the S&P 500 futures add 0.14% to 4,242, as of writing.
