Taiwan Raises Alarm Over Imminent War Attack From China

After China simulated “joint precision strikes” on Taiwan during military drills near the island, the Taiwanese administration has come forth to claim that China is preparing to invade the island.

The Chinese navy’s aircraft carrier Shandong appears to be seen in photos released by Japan Joint Chiefs launching jets in the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan during its current round of exercises around the island. If true, this would mark the first time China has simulated attacks on Taiwan by aircraft carrier-based warplanes.

Taiwan warns that China is getting ready to start a war against us.

After Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen’s return from a 10-day trip to Central America and the United States, during which she visited US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other US officials, Beijing began the drills on Saturday. On Tuesday, the military exercises were over.

In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, April 12, Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu condemned Beijing’s actions and warned that “they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against Taiwan.”

“Look at the military exercises, and also their rhetoric, they seem to be trying to get ready to launch a war against Taiwan,” Wu said.

“The Taiwanese government looks at the Chinese military threat as something that cannot be accepted and we condemn it.”

Wu voiced confidence in Taiwan’s preparedness when asked if Taiwan had any idea of the timing of any potential Chinese military attack, given US intelligence assessments that Xi has ordered his military to be ready by 2027.

“Chinese leaders will think twice before they decide to use force against Taiwan. And no matter whether it is 2025 or 2027 or even beyond, Taiwan simply needs to get ready,” he said.

Beijing described the drills as “a serious warning against the Taiwan separatist forces’ collusion with external forces, and a necessary move to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Asked if the costs of a visit by Taiwan’s leader to the US were too high, Wu told CNN, “China cannot dictate how Taiwan makes friends. And China cannot dictate how our friends want to show support to Taiwan.”

Following Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in August of last year, Beijing carried out comparable significant military drills in the vicinity of the island.

Since the end of a civil war more than seven decades ago, when the victorious Nationalists withdrew to Taipei, Taiwan and China have been administered independently.

However, the self-governing island is claimed by China’s ruling Communist Party as part of its territory. As his influence has increased recently, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has made apparent his desire to “reunify” with the island, using force if necessary.
