China’s ambassador to Australia says the country will use “all necessary means" to take Taiwan as part of the Chinese Communist Party's push for “reunification".
The Chinese military conducted military and air force drills near Taiwan in retaliation to Ms Pelosi’s visit to Taipei, blaming the United States for what it describes as a provocative action undermining the status quo.Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu has said the self-governed island will not be intimidated describing the action as an “an attempt to weaken public morale in Taiwan”.
You can use your imagination, but the one point for [the] Chinese people [is they] are absolutely determined to protect our sovereignty, territorial integrity.As tensions persist, the Chinese government released a Taiwanese White Paper on Wednesday reiterating its position Beijing considers Taiwan its own territory.
China announced six exclusion zones around Taiwan for military drills after the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.Mr Xiao also used the example of Australia’s territorial claim over Tasmania to explain his point about China’s territorial claim over Taiwan. "The propaganda that you're seeing coming out is similar to what you'd see come out of North Korea or out of Russia, and it needs to be called out."
Asked about a possible meeting between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Chinese President Xi Jinping, he suggested progress still needed to be made for this to occur.
