China's military drills an excuse to prepare for invasion, Taiwan's foreign minister says

Taiwan's foreign minister said on Tuesday that China's military drills it launched in protest against U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit was really an excuse to prepare for an invasion of the self-ruled island.

"China has used the drills in its military playbook to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan," Joseph Wu said, adding "China’s real intention behind these military exercises is to alter the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and the entire region.”

Wu, who offered no timetable for a possible invasion of Taiwan, which is claimed by China as its own, said Taiwan would not be intimidated even as the drills continued with China often breaching the unofficial median line down the Taiwan Strait.

Of all the land and ocean to practice, China chose to surround Taiwan and call it a military drill. Why doesnt america surround hawaii and call it a military drill? why do drills with live amno at the worlda busiest strait?

This is where the neutron bomb comes in handy.
China should start making a few.

"China conducted a successful test of neutron bomb principles in 1984 and a successful test of a neutron bomb in 1988. ... Chinese nuclear scientists stated before the 1988 test that China had no need for neutron bombs, but it was developed to serve as a "technology reserve", in case the need arose in the future."

Well the future is now and there is a real need too.

It's not a invasion, it's a reunion, Taiwan is never a country.

How can USA decide to bully a super power unilaterally.

The very first reminder for any Chinese speakers to go TV should say the following before any interview.

I would like to remind your audience and I quote from the 1972 agreement between the West and China.

"The United States of America recognizes the Government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China."
"There is but one China and Taiwan is part of China."

Now ask away your questions regarding China's position or intention on reuniting China and Taiwan.

[MP-uizj]

America needs to stop giving them an excuse.

[victorhuynh]

Now Taiwan no longer have the sea and airspace around Taiwan.

[nusantararaya]

frequent experiences.
look at the middle east, ukraine etc.

wherever the US comes,
that's where the conflict occurs,
they seem to help you,
then they laugh because they managed to make war on each other weaken.

This is Asia, the future of Earth, the economy and the military is here.

[Sophia-oxtx]

At present, more than 170 countries and regions in the world agree with China's approach and " One China policy".

[kingshxu]

Sadly some taiwan people like to call them self American meanwhile they speak the same Chinese language and have the same Chinese blood

[victorhuynh]

2022 and beyond US military have it match by China over Taiwan.

[Cristoforo]

Sounds like it’s gone from ‘concerning’ to ‘serious’ now. I hope this speaker is wrong about Chinas intentions.

[seek__truth]
