China warns Taiwan leader pushing island into 'war and danger' | AFP

Beijing's defence ministry spokesman Wu Qian says Taiwanese President Lai Ching-tse "has seriously challenged the one-China principle... pushing our compatriots in Taiwan into a perilous situation of war and danger". Democratic Taiwan is accustomed to frequent threats from China, which claims the island as part of its territory. Beijing has said it will never renounce the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control, and has in recent years upped the rhetoric of "unification" being "inevitable".

    Its there problem, they are accepting the US sponsored goverments. So by that it appears they want a war. They have seen what the US does to countries it uses for extending its power. Ukraine has been utterly destroyed and Taiwan will get even worse treatment as the US has admited it will destroy the fab plants there.

    Why does USA harass Cuba with sanctions? What has Cuba done against USA? Why can't US leave Cuba alone? Meanwhile, China does not 'want' Taiwan. China wants USA out of Taiwan. The people are the same, they travel and trade and they are fine. It is the US that wants Taiwan. No, Taiwan is not really a democracy. Since 1948 (when Chiang kai Shek, the US backed dictator escaped to this island), Taiwan has been a US-run dictatorship. Only in 1987 did it have its first elections, but they are still controlled by the military, which in turn is subservient to USA. Once US leaves Taiwan, life will go on just as it is for the Taiwanese people. China will not compromise on that. In the past China was weak, US was strong. But now US is being gutted by Democrats who are flooding it with non-English speaking immigrants. US is getting weaker. China is getting stronger. Expect US to be retreating from much of the world. US can still invade Nicaragua or Panama, or Grenada etc.

    US backed a dictator in China called Chiang Kai Shek. The Chinese people ran him out, and he escaped to this island. USA protected the dictator. Taiwan was a Dictatorship (NOT A DEMOCRACY) until recently. Even now, the Taiwanese military has the final word, and the military is subservient to USA. It is the presence of US that China cannot not allow. China was too weak to remove USA out of Taiwan. Things have changed. USA is rotting from inside. China is getting stronger. Only question is, will US leave Taiwan peacefully or will there be a fight. No, China has nothing against Taiwanese people. They are the same. There is massive trade/travel between Taiwan and China. None of that will change when US is booted out of Taiwan.

    Taiwan was a US-supported dictatorship that killed anyone who wanted Democracy with US supplied guns. However, this made the US look ugly. So US pressured the dictators to give up power, and only in 1987 did the allow elections. Even now, it is a 'controlled' democracy, the military (which is subservient to US) has the final word. Educate yourself. When you are ignorant about the facts, you make your parents look stupid.

    In the Constitution of China and the Constitution of Taiwan Province Province, sovereignty is the same, that is, Taiwan Province Province is a province of China, and the sovereignty of Taiwan Province Province includes the whole of Chinese mainland. The full name of Taiwan Province Province is Taiwan Province Province of the Republic of China, but the United Nations has long recognized that the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing China, so it is indisputable that Taiwan belongs to the People's Republic of China.

    While Taiwan functions as a de facto independent nation, it has never officially declared independence from China due to Beijing's claims of sovereignty and threats of military action. The lack of formal statehood recognition leaves Taiwan's status unresolved.

    Taiwan is a US colony. Chiang Kai Shek, the US puppet dictator, took refuge on the island and US protected the dictator. China was too weak at that time. Things have changed. USA is rotting from inside. China is getting stronger every day. Just a matter of time before USA is booted out of Taiwan. No, China has nothing against Taiwanese people, since they are all Chinese immigrants. The native population of Taiwan is irrelevant.
