Taiwan condemns China military drills as 'irrational provocations' | BBC News

Taiwan's defence ministry has condemned China's military exercises around the self-ruled island as "irrational provocations".
The drills come just three days after the inauguration of Taiwanese president William Lai, whom Beijing has labelled as a "separatist" and a "troublemaker".
Beijing, which has long claimed Taiwan, is performing the drills all around the main island, and the Taipei-controlled islands of Kinmen, Matsu, Wuqiu and Dongyin.
A spokesperson for the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has called them a "strong punishment" for "separatist acts".

Jackass, if people in Mainland China were oppressed why did nearly 2 million Taiwanese opt to move, to live and work in Mainland China instead of Taiwan or anywhere else. Why did every year before Covid 140 million Chinese went a broad to travel the world as tourists and nearly 140 million of them returned to China to live and work? Where do you think senior Taiwanese military servicemen, politicians, businessmen move to when they retire? Where do you think Taiwanese banks and institutions move their money and assets to whenever there is instability in Taiwan, you clown? Go to China and see if Chinese people there are oppressed. You British have an unelected hereditary king whom you, all your military members, politicians, judges and civil servants have to pledge personal allegiance to him and his family and you are calling people from other countries oppressed. Taiwan can't even exist economically without Mainland China. Nearly 50% of everything Taiwan produces goes to China. Taiwan is not economically viable without the Mainland. 80% have family members in the Mainland. Most Taiwanese can tell you exactly where their ancestors came from. Most of them came from Fujian Province, just across the Straight. Do you know who are oppressed? The people of Okinawa who have been protesting for decades for American troops to leave their Islands. They have seen 40% of all their arable land swallowed up by the US military. The indigenous people of Hawaii who have send their Islands invaded by American settlers and polluted and destroyed by the US navy. Both Okinawa and Hawaii used to be independent sovereign countries internationally recognized across the world until they got invaded and illegally annexed by the US and Japan in the late 19th century. Those are the people who are really being oppressed.

First off, Taiwan is NOT a self-governing province of China. It is a province but has since 1949 been taken over by the Republic of China (ROC) when it had to flee there from mainland China after it was defeated by CCP. Taiwan in reality is the sovereign state of ROC. Secondly, the leaders in Taipei have to play to the tune of US which uses Taiwan as an anti-China card/ chess.

​@@rkslim8385The Taiwanese people have never been ruled by the CCP. When Taiwan was released from being a Japanese colony, control was given to ROC, not the CCP

[@MrDosonhai]

@@rkslim8385 LOL, China has never ruled Taiwan, even once. It is the opposite. Taiwan government used to rule China, until being pushed out by Mao with his trickery. A state of China? Whose? The CCP? China is a broad term. Speak more specific, it is the CCP who is ruling China with an iron fist. How many Chinese have to die under the CCP that you realize you're being ruled by a criminal organization? Taiwan is the true legitimate government of the Chinese people.

@@gudnikristinn its not about history and who ruled. The point is taiwan is recognised as a state of china or independent country by globally.

Bark? China’s the one basically doing geopolitical “I’m not touching you!”. Meanwhile the US is selling billion is arms to Taiwan, training up Thailand’s military, building new bases in the Philippines, selling nuclear submarines to Australia, patching things up between historic enemies like S Korea and Japan, and running joint exercises with all these nations + Sri Lanka, Singapore and New Zealand.

Well US and Taiwán do it to keep someone away. And the big question is why war? For what? To occupy someone and take their land? And why in the first case do you want more land? What does it give you? You will be happier?

[@Jake-bh1hm]

Or how about this insane idea: China can just leave Taiwan alone and not tell them they will invade them by policy or by force .. how about that. How about countries stop invading other countries for land. Stfu with your „Taiwan and USA do drills” lol read the books on the conflict or be humble and stfu before you write a comment like that.

Such blockade will only work if Taiwan doesn’t have missile defense capabilities or such capabilities destroyed. Otherwise, those ships are practically sitting ducks. Just ask Putin.
