A senior US senator, also a member of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on his social media revealed that the US has 30,000 soldiers stationed in China's Taiwan island.

Chinese experts said if this is true, it is a military invasion and occupation of China's Taiwan and equivalent to the US declaring war on China.

If the tweet is correct, China could immediately activate Anti-Secession Law to destroy and expel US troops in Taiwan and reunify Taiwan militarily, experts noted.

In the tweet, Senator John Cornyn listed the number of US troops stationed in South Korea, Germany, Japan, China's Taiwan and on the African continent to show how the number of US soldiers has dwindled in Afghanistan. But in the process, Cornyn revealed the shocking news that there are 30,000 US troops on China's Taiwan island.

It would take a few hundred thousand more troops to declare war on China.

At one point, back in the 1970s, there were about that many U.S. troops stationed in Taiwan.  That is no longer the case.

I checked Cornyn's Twitter feed on August 17th, and there is no tweet of this nature listed.  Not to say he may have deleted it. 


OTOH, and more likely, this may have been faked.

I recall when Formosa (AKA "Nationalist China") would never have been referred to as "Communist China's Taiwan".

WTF?
