The People’s Liberation Army launched blockade drills around Taiwan on October 14, 2024, days after mainland China hit out at a defiant speech by the island’s leader William Lai Ching-te. Beijing said the Joint Sword-2024B drills were taking place in areas to the north, south and east of the self-ruled island and in the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan's defence ministry said it had responded by dispatching “appropriate forces”. Mainland officials offered no date for when the PLA drills would conclude.

This invites the US to do military drills with Taiwan.

[TheVietarmy]

[cuteandfunnyearthlings]

China is just too patient, if its america they would have co up de tat taiwan like venezueala and ukraine etc.

[Wuchenn]

Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that this was the Chinese Civil War
This is caused by Lai Qingde's constant provocation

[emmanuelflores]

Naaaa, PLA is just a show. They won't do that. 😅

[kampoengbatoe]

Lai should ask India for help. There are hundreds of millions of jobless young Indians, and they are more than willing to work at any front-lines.

[Hkchinese]

As a Chinese, tofu is our delicacy.😂😂

I don’t think they will do it, they had 70 years to do it but never did.

1) In 1894, Japan invaded China and Korea, the Qing govt was defeated and signed the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] to cede Taiwan Island to Japan.

2) During the WW2, at the Cairo Conference held in 1943, China asked the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty back to China after the war. This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented.

3) In 14 Aug & 2 Sept 1945, the Emperor and govt of Japan issued the [End War Edict] and [Japanese Instrument of Surrender], Japan surrendered and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. Japanese troops in Taiwan surrendered to KMT General CKS and Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic of China (ROC).

4) Soon after that China civil war broke out in between KMT and CCP, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CCP without strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CCP then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. The civil war continues.

5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal govt under international law and is recognized by 181 countries around the world, including the USA.

"The USA recognizes the Government of the PRC as the sole legal Government of China."
"The USA acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China."
Joint Cummunique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between the PRC and the USA in 1979.

Please refer to President Jimmy Carter's Speech on Relations with China.

6) Therefore, according to international law, international reality, and the wishes of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan should return to PRC and the PRC have every rights to protect it's sovereign integrity.

[gfan]

Taiwan's President Lai Just made a speech about independence and US Just gave support to That; So here comes the consequences.

[rynzuu]

[alexrider]

I think SCMP has lost its neutrality after the HK Crackdowns and Zero Covid.

Why put in brackets in the subtitles, “(mainland) China”? He did not say 中國大陸, he simply said 中國.

This morning the Philippines activated their Bhramos missile systems aim at southern Taiwan. They also activated the reserve corps in Batanes for this reason.
