China and Taiwan split during the 1949 civil war. China continues to claim Taiwan as part of its territory. Not only that, but China has been threatening to use force to capture Taiwan if necessary. Because of this, tensions between Taiwan and China continue. Meanwhile, the United States, which has been supporting it in this matter, has been providing weapons to defend itself.
China has strongly opposed this. The US president has recently issued a public warning to China that the US military could intervene and protect Taiwan if it plans to invade. Following this, the Chinese military has been engaged in frequent military exercises in preparation for retaliation against the United States. This has increased tensions on the border between the two countries. In this context, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chinese Defense Minister Wei Peng met for the first time yesterday.
When he talks about this, the Chinese military will not hesitate to start a war if anyone dares to separate Taiwan from China. He said China was ready to pay any price for it. He went on to say that China would thwart the Taiwan independence conspiracy and reaffirm its commitment to national unity. Taiwan has always said that the idea of using Taiwan to control China will never succeed. Only then did he reaffirm US support for Taiwan, urging it to avoid further destabilizing measures.
