China’s armed forces have conducted military exercises near the island of Taiwan to “warn the United States”.
“Recently, the People’s Liberation Army’s Eastern Combat Command conducted joint combat readiness patrol and military exercises at sea and airspace around the island of Taiwan,” the People’s Liberation Army Eastern Command said in a statement posted on WeChat social network.
“This is a serious warning given the recent activity between the United States and Taiwan,” the statement said.
The document also stressed that the island of Taiwan is still considered part of China, and China’s armed forces have every opportunity and determination to prevent foreign intervention and any attempt by separatist forces to fix “the freedom of Taiwan ”.
US President Joe Biden announced at a press conference on Monday after his summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that his country was ready to participate in the military to protect Taiwan “in case of attack” and to unilaterally change its current situation.
And “NBC” later said that the White House clarified that Biden mentioned the supply of weapons to the island in his speech about the willingness of the United States to participate in the military in protecting Taiwan. And last Tuesday, in response to a journalist’s question about the possibility of sending U.S. military personnel to Taiwan in case there is a Chinese attack, Biden reiterated that Washington’s stance on Taiwan has not changed.
China’s Foreign Ministry has warned the US that it will pay an “unbearable price” if it continues “on the wrong path” regarding Taiwan.
This comes as Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin commented at a news conference on Tuesday on US President Joe Biden’s recent statements about Taiwan.
“The United States is doing everything it can to play with words on the‘ one China ’principle. But I want to remind the American side that there is no power anywhere in the world, including the United States. Taiwan can save its freedom advocates from defeat, ”Wang said. “.
Wang stressed that China has “full confidence, capability and readiness to tightly control separatist activities aimed at Taiwan independence, determined to prevent foreign invasion, and determined to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. ”
“I advise the United States to listen to a famous old Chinese song that says when a friend arrives they are greeted with delicious wine, and when a coyote arrives they are greeted with a gun.”
