U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday said China has made a decision that the status quo over Taiwan is "no longer acceptable" and to put more pressure on the self-governing island.

Blinken, speaking at an event organized by Bloomberg, also said the United States was not in a cold war with China but is resolute in standing up for its interests.
