Taiwan's president issues warning to China: 'We will defend ourselves'

Taiwan's president says her country will not provoke conflicts but will firmly defend its sovereignty and national security.

Tsai Ing-wen delivers a video message in response to China's exercises, in which it fired missiles near Taiwan waters, a day after US house speaker Nancy Pelosi made a solidarity trip to the island.  Taiwan's president says: 'We are calm and not impetuous, we are rational and not provocative, but we will also be firm and not shirk.  Taiwan will never be knocked down by challenges'

Strangely similar vibes to zelenskyy’s speech in February

[AstroRve]

Looks like Taiwanese version of zelensky speech before war

[brennanmason]

Remember China is lower ranked than Russia is military strength and Taiwan is higher than Ukraine so Taiwan has a higher chance of winning

[thereluctant]

Same as Ukraine was commenting on Russian Invasion, Now it seems that it is the turn of Taiwan.

I am reminded by Zelensky's Speech in February right before the war. Prayers for Taiwan and Ukraine

The first country to ever attack Taiwan with warship was the US in 1867. and the country that supported japan invading Taiwan during the mudan incident, was the US in 1874. the country that sold weapons to japan during the first Sino- Japanese war, 1894 1895 leading to china's defeat, forcing china to cede Taiwan to japan, was the US from 1894 to 1895. the country that actively pushes for Japanese containment of china, in Taiwanese containment of mainland china is the US from the 19th century until today . So can we really say that the US is our friend ? i mean we are being used to serve US imperialist interests . these recent events show us that so-called Taiwan separatism is not true independence, but it further embroils Taiwan into serving US imperialist interests . True independence means independence from this sort of hegemonic, unequal relationship where you don't even have dignity as a human being and where each one are equal citizens with equal rights and have to our voices heard as equal citizens and not subjects of the western empire

In other words, we will obey our master US, no matter what.
