China has clarified that its position on Taiwan is directed at physical forces and a select few separatists, but it has reiterated that it will not rule out using army in its state, according to Reuters.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said that while China remains committed to peaceful reunification efforts, it wo n’t promise to renounce the use of force.
This speech follows large-scale military drills around Taiwan, which Beijing said were a reply to” rebel acts” after Taiwan President Lai Ching-te’s current National Day conversation.
On Monday, China’s defense left open the possibility of more training depending on the level of “provocation”, and Taiwan’s defence ministry reported the identification of 22 Foreign aircraft and five military ships around the area on Wednesday.
Binhua explained that the army would only be directed at foreign interference, especially the United States and its allies and a majority of Japanese separatists, and not the general populace of Taiwan.
Taiwan’s state continues to accept Beijing’s claims of independence, asserting that the region’s future is a problem for its own people to decide.
Responding to the military training, Taiwan National Security Bureau Director-General Tsai Ming-yen remarked that China’s steps had failed, generating more foreign aid for Taiwan, especially from Washington.
President Lai argued in his October 10 statement that China does not have the authority to represent Taiwan but that it is willing to work with Beijing on issues like climate change.
China, however, dismissed this as a culmination of Lai’s ‘ persistent dissident place’. The spokesperson continued,” There was no kindness to be expressed.”
In recent years, China has conducted normal military activities in Taiwan, raising tensions in the area.
