China threatens Taiwan with military operation

SANAA, June. 11 (YPA) – China will not hesitate to start a war if Taiwan declares independence, a spokesman of the Chinese Defense Ministry, Wu Qian, issued a warning statement on Friday.

This came following a meeting held between the Chinese Defense Minister and his US counterpart in Singapore, while the US responded that Beijing became more “Abusive and aggressive.

The Chinese minister pledged that Beijing “would crush to pieces any scheme calling for Taiwan independence, and firmly affirmed the unity of the motherland.”

He stressed that “Taiwan is China’s Taiwan, and using Taiwan to contain China will never win.”

Taiwan, a democratic and self-governing island, lives under constant threat of Chinese attack, and Beijing considers the island its own territory, and has vowed to annex it by force if necessary.
