“The situation in the Taiwan Strait is still tense, and we will remain vigilant as the United States may take advantage of the situation by planning an increased military presence and attempts to escalate the crisis.

On August 10, the Chinese authorities released a document titled “Taiwan Issue and China’s Reunification in a New Era” in a white paper that they publish regularly to clarify Beijing’s policy on various issues, saying that “trying to achieve Taiwan independence will only lead to the island will plunge into the abyss of disaster and cause severe damage to Taiwanese citizens,” she said, “we are ready to continue to sincerely seek and make efforts for peaceful reunification, but we do not promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the ability to take all necessary measures.”

The situation around Taiwan escalated after the recent visit to the island of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, the first since 1997 for the speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress. China considers the island its part and does not allow interference in its situation.
