On the first day of 2022, Taiwan issued a warning to China. In a speech to the ruling Communist Party of China, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ying-wen said that the solution to the problem between China and Taiwan lies in military conflict.
Sai Ying-wen’s speech was broadcast live on social media Facebook. “We would like to remind the authorities in Beijing to refrain from misinterpreting the situation and abandon the plan for military conflict,” he said in a statement.
‘The differences between us cannot be resolved by military means; On the contrary, adopting this approach is likely to have a huge negative impact on the economic stability of the two regions. We must remember that we both have a responsibility to make peace in the region and to protect it. “
“Our first and foremost goal is to defend our sovereignty and uphold the values of independence and democracy,” he said. At the same time, Taiwan wants to establish peace in the Indo-Pacific region by safeguarding regional sovereignty and national security. “
The one-time independent state of Taiwan is actually an island in East Asia, located on the southeast coast of mainland China, east of the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan lost its independence to China in a war in the 1960s.
However, the independence-loving people of the island territory have always revolted against Chinese occupation. The island’s independence struggle has gained new momentum since Sai Ying-wen became president in 2016.
China, however, has consistently called Taiwan’s independence movement a “separatist movement.” President Xi Jinping recently warned Taiwan’s pro-independence forces that China has a long history of tackling any separatism.
