America-China War: There is still war going on in the world on many fronts. From Ukraine, Palestine to Syria, they are immersing themselves in the battlefield. Meanwhile, sounds of a new war have started coming in the world. If this war happens, it will be very terrible because this war can happen between two super power countries America and China over Taiwan. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said on Monday (December 9, 2024) that several contingents of Chinese navy and coast guard ships were patrolling the Taiwan Strait and surrounding waters in the western Pacific, ready for possible military exercises. .
According to CNN’s report, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry issued a statement saying, “Taiwan security forces have intercepted Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) ships from the Eastern, Northern and Southern Theater Commands as well as those entering Taiwan’s territory.” The coast guard vessels involved in this incident have been identified. This military activity by China comes days after Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te provoked China’s anger by unofficially stopping in Hawaii and the US territory of Guam during his week-long South Pacific tour. The tour ended on Friday (December 6).”
Why did China and America come face to face?
Chinese officials have strongly opposed the visit of Taiwan President Lai Ching-te and have described him as a separatist. Lai’s visit came after the US approved the sale of new arms to Taiwan. After which China decided to take strict counter measures.
It is noteworthy that China claims the autonomous region of Taiwan as its own, although it has never controlled this area. Apart from this, it considers informal talks between Taiwan and America as a violation of its sovereignty.
What did the Taiwanese official say?,
A senior Taiwanese official told CNN that China’s current deployment of navy and coast guard troops is larger than its previous military exercises around the island earlier this year. He said, ‘China has deployed its naval ships from the East China Sea to the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea.’
