Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on the 8th that he intends to fully strengthen military training and preparations for war.
According to China’s state CCTV, President Xi said today that China’s security is becoming increasingly unstable and uncertain.
China conducted a large-scale military exercise near Taiwan in early August, shortly after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan.
Subsequently, military aircraft were used to regularly cross the Taiwan Strait midline.
In response, the United States and its allies thwarted Chinese military exercises by continuing to sail the region.
In the midst of this, China repeatedly stressed its opposition to Taiwan’s independence on the 8th.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in a regular briefing the same day that “the tension in the Taiwan Strait is due to the collusion of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities with outside forces.”
These remarks come as Taiwan recently announced plans to invest more than $ 10 million in semiconductor manufacturing in Lithuania, an Eastern European country.
