This sounds like a prelude to announce their new strategy. But the strategy seems already clear - they called Taiwan their "important military ally", an incredible provocation. So they are going to try to do the same to China they did to Russia, encircle them on all sides, set a trap, until they lash out. Then they are the bad guys. Hopefully China is smarter than Russia though. But they can't let Taiwan become an "actively" hostile military outpost of the US right on their doorstep. But I don't really know what moves either side can realistically make since the economic dependencies are quite strong.
