Title: China Warns It Will ‘Resolutely Smash’ Taiwan Independence As US Bolsters Support
Post by: kevindavis007 on May 17, 2023, 01:11:00 pm

The Associated Press reports that China's Defense Ministry spokesperson Col. Tan Kefei labeled the recent uptick in the interaction between the U.S. and Taiwanese militaries as an "extremely wrong and dangerous move" in an online statement and video.


He reinforced China's stance towards Taiwan, saying that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) "continues to strengthen military training and preparations and will resolutely smash any form of Taiwanese independence secession along with attempts at outside interference, and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity."

The Taiwanese don't seem to be particularly upset over this new announcement.  Here's an article about the Taiwan vice president's self-characterization as a pragmatic worker for Taiwan independence:  https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4894155

Lai said he believes there is no need to publicly declare Taiwan's independence, as he believes the concept is implicit as Taiwan is not part of the People's Republic of China.

He said a formal declaration of Taiwan independence could cause more cross-strait tension, noting he would ensure such a public declaration would not happen in his administration.

Lai said the DPP has already presented its opinion with regard to cross-strait relations in the "1999 Resolution of Taiwan’s Future," which says Taiwan is a sovereign and independent country named the Republic of China and that it will not announce independence.

How is that strategic supply chain re-alignment away from China and Taiwan coming along?

With Biden's puppet masters at the helm of the nation? Well if by realignment you mean reinforcing the status quo...
