Direct speech: “Look at the military exercises and also their rhetoric, it looks like they are trying to prepare to start a war against Taiwan.
The Taiwanese government views the Chinese military threat as something that cannot be accepted, and we condemn it.”
Details: At the same time, Joseph Wu added that China would “think twice” before using force against Taiwan: “Whether it’s 2025 or 2027 or even later, Taiwan just needs to prepare.”
CNN notes that Joseph Wu did so the day after China simulated “joint precision strikes” against Taiwan during military exercises around the island.
This was the first time that the Chinese navy had simulated combat aircraft strikes against Taiwan.
