WASHINGTON, D.C: China should not 'overreact' and use a stopover in the United States by Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen as a 'pretext' for aggression against the democratically ruled island of Taiwan, a senior US official said early Wednesday.

'There's absolutely no reason for China to use that as a pretext to overreact or to engage in further coercion directed at Taiwan,' a senior administration told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
