Beijing is prepared to take military action to prevent any attempt to separate Taiwan from the mainland, Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe has said.
According to Reuters and other news agencies, Wei also said on Thursday: “The Taiwan issue is related to China’s sovereignty and touches upon China’s core interests … on this issue, it is extremely dangerous to challenge China’s bottom line.”
That line would be if Taiwan, now known officially as the Republic of China, declared itself as the Republic of Taiwan.
Beijing’s relations with Taipei have been particularly strained since the island’s president, Tsai Ing-wen of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, came to power in 2016.
Wei’s warning came three days after the United States sent two warships through the Taiwan Strait, the latest of gestures made by Washington in support of Taiwan, a democracy with an elected legislature and government.
Wei also touched on the situation in the South China Sea, where China’s claims are disputed by several neighboring countries. Wei said China opposes displays of strength and “provocations” from countries outside the region under the “pretense” of protecting freedom of flight and navigation.
The US routinely sends warships and military aircraft to the South China Sea to protect what it calls freedom of navigation in international waters.
If China were to try to take over Taiwan, it is likely, according to some sinologists, to be in 2021, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Communist Party of China.
Flora de los Sinensis So you live ex China and cant get a gf. Maybe Winnie Xi Pooh will make Chinese stand tall ? with platform shoes
All the BS about Scotland and Oregon Trails. You really have no scooby doo, do you. It’s all a teenage fantasy.
Even your name is European, showing China;s recent influence on the world is zero.
CCP and Communism are the product of a German Jew.
In the meantime Sg and Taiwanese are the true Chinese, free and independent of yout serfdom.

PROLIFERATION of WEAPONS of MASS DESTRUCTION is ILLEGAL under the UN charter isn’t that true?
Not a very good example for the one who INVENTED the very word “PROLIFERATE” us it?
Doing so (proliferate) would nullify all of the treaties nations worldwide have inked, wiuldn’t it?

C’mon Rizvi, this all on my own free accord. I don’t even live in ChiComland. However, my umbilical cord is stashed in ChiComland for safe keeping. I hope this answers your curiosity.

Theresa May: no way in hell anyone’s going to split from the UK. Strike a cord or brings any memories there?
USA is different. USA is Oregan Trails, How The West Was Won. Little Big Man verses Cochise and Little Big Bear. USA is not Irland, Scotland, which is Great Britain direct.
This Island under the Chinese sun, Taiwan, is inherently Chinese pasted on by its predecessors to their descendants hence core Chinese interest as is with the SCS and Daiyutais.
No exceptions so eat your hearts out guys, and gals.

FY? Wow!
If I may say so, that’s typical Asiatic. That accent is UNMISTAKABLE. Very very Viet Poopish and/or Luzonese Austronesian’ish. May also have this Island under the Chinese sun Islander accent to it…
You need to do better than that to be able to be an irritant to, us Mat, so try a little more.

China is not going to touch the Taiwan messes. It blood is thicker than water or (一家人）for China. What China will do is cripple the Island’s military machinery first, then have civilian militias, volunteers, to get involved.
The latter senario is much feared by the Tasi group which is why they stopped allowing Chinese tourism since Tasi’s take over. They fear infiltration and intelligence gathering by China via tourism routes.
I was just there. I can sense this air of concern and preparation in everything from infrastructure to policy by the Tasi establishment…

***Arming Taiwan***
Go ahead. Make our day…
Arm Japan in same time (Trump’s election demand to lower Washington’s Asia Pacific monthly balance) and see if it makes sense https://youtu.be/MHxj7z6x11g or if it’s a doable thing…
Given the deep patriotism and the pride of the average Japanese ranging from that pretty little girl in a blue school uniform to that of that massive sumo wrestle, I’m sure they more than welcome the idea.
Cuban Missile Crises, episode II, Asia Pacific, of course is not out of the question. JFK sh*ted in his pants when he pulled a fast one on Kruschev because he have a mouth like yours. It took little brother, Bobby, plenty brain cells to save the day, with Turkey nukes in exchange for Cuban nuke quid pro quo…
So yes, make our day. Go fir it. Arm them.

Flora de los Sinensis I hope they pay you extra, not just the 0.5RMB for this rant.
On the other hand, CCP bullying rallies the Taiwanese who fight back, drawing in the US with their larger weapons. The Puny Little Army and Navy are humiliated. Winnie Xi Pooh and the CCP are hung from lamposts.
The only time they are well hung.
