The whole world is aware of the tension between China and Taiwan. As soon as anti-China leader William Lai Ching-te became the President, China on Thursday started maneuvers by surrounding Taiwan from all sides. This is the first time that China is conducting such large-scale maneuvers against Taiwan. Before the presidential elections held in Taiwan, China had called Lai Ching-te a separatist, and also warned the people of Taiwan to choose the right option if they want to avoid military conflict.
Chinese warships and aircraft involved in the exercise
Despite China’s threat, anti-China leader Lai Ching-te won the election in Taiwan. After his oath, Chinese army spokesman Colonel Li Xi said that Taiwanese will be punished for this. Xi said that China’s army, navy and air force will respond to the separatists promoting Taiwan’s independence through joint exercises. Fighter planes and several naval warships are included in this exercise of China.
Taiwan’s army is on alert
Taiwan has condemned China’s military exercises as an ‘irrational provocation’. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s new President Lai Ching-te has asked China to stop military exercises. Lai has appealed to China to stop its anger and try to maintain peace in the entire region. According to Lai, the islands near which the exercises are going on belong to Taiwan. At the same time, Taiwan’s army has also been put on alert.
War of words between China and Taiwan
Meanwhile, let us also tell you here that, after becoming the President, Lai Ching-te had said in his first address that Taiwan is an independent country. Taiwan can do anything to maintain its sovereignty. He had said that the Taiwan government will not make any compromise regarding its democracy and independence. After this, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had hit back at Taiwan. He had said that Taiwan’s new President Lai Ching-te and his associates have betrayed not only the country but also our ancestors with their actions. Wang Yi had also said that no one can stop us from merging Taiwan with China. It will definitely be found in its motherland.
