Chinese Defense Ministry Spokesman Wu Qian stated on Monday that the Chinese army is planning military drills and patrols surrounding Taipei in retaliation for its collaboration with Washington. Wu Qian was commenting on the arrival of a delegation of US legislators to Taiwan.
According to a Chinese defence spokesman, the eastern region of the People’s Liberation Army’s combat command has organised joint military drills and patrols in the area of Taiwan with the participation of various military branches. This should act as a decisive and deterrent response to the Taiwan-US cooperation.
He emphasised that the United States’ attempt to use Taiwan to control China is doomed to failure and that the Chinese army is continuing its combat training to steadfastly defend China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and resolutely confront any form of Taiwan separatism and outside interference.
And on Sunday, only days after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the island, a delegation from the US Congress arrived in Taiwan.
A delegation from the US Congress will visit Taiwan from August 14 to August 15 to meet with senior officials there. According to the US Embassy in Taipei, the meeting would focus on the supply chain crisis and Washington and Taipei’s relations. Globalism .
A US official recently stated that despite the escalating hostilities between Washington and Beijing over the island, which China views as an essential component of its sovereignty, the US would conduct maritime and air transit operations in the Taiwan Strait in the upcoming weeks.
Earlier today, Wang Wenbin, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, emphasised that his nation implores Washington to uphold the one China concept and issued a warning that Beijing will take forceful and effective steps to protect sovereignty.
The one-China principle and the three points of the joint communiques between China and the United States were flagrantly violated by a US delegation led by Senator Ed Markey, Wang said, despite China’s strict admonition and loud protest.
He emphasised that the US side’s actions infringed China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and conveyed the separatist forces pushing for Taiwan independence a misleading message.
The Chinese official continued by urging the United States to handle the Taiwan issues carefully and responsibly and to stop undermining and distorting the one-China concept in order to prevent additional harm to bilateral relations as well as peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
The People’s Liberation Army conducted massive drills involving missiles, aircraft, and warships in response to Pelosi’s travel to Taiwan.
On August 4, exercises in six basin-wide locations across Taiwan got underway.
Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan on August 2 and 3 was the highest-ranking US politician to travel to the island in 25 years and the first by a US House speaker since 1997.
In reaction to a US delegation’s visit to Taipei, new Chinese military drills around Taiwan have been conducted.
