🇨🇳☭ Global Times | Senator reveals '30,000 US troops stationed in Taiwan island,' equal to ‘declaring war on China’ if it's true | 17-08-21
— "A senior US senator, also a member of US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on his social media revealed that the US has 30,000 soldiers stationed in China's Taiwan island. If the tweet is correct, it is a military invasion and occupation of China's Taiwan and equivalent to the US declaring war on China.

China could immediately activate its Anti-Secession Law to destroy and expel US troops in Taiwan and reunify Taiwan militarily, some experts noted.

Some others believe the news leaked by the US senator cannot be true because 30,000 is not some small amount that the US Army could hide and not being noticed in the island, and the US has nothing to gain by stationing the US Army in the island. Sacrificing its own interests to satisfy Taiwan separatists also does not fit with US foreign policy, just like the US did in Afghanistan. "

🇨🇳☭ Global Times | PLA holds joint live-fire assault drills near Taiwan island in direct response to collusion, provocations by US, secessionists | 17-08-21
— " The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Tuesday launched joint live-fire assault drills in multiple locations near the island of Taiwan as a direct response to the recent collusion and provocations made by the US and the Taiwan secessionists.

Experts said the exercises practiced a vital part of the future large-scale amphibious landing operations on the island that will see the PLA seize air superiority and control of the sea, and sent a clear and powerful warning to the US and the Taiwan secessionists on the 39th anniversary of the China-US August 17 Communiqué, in which the US promised to restrict arms sales to Taiwan but repeatedly broke its promise, and also at a time when the US military has lost credibility after its irresponsible, hasty and embarrassing troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The PLA Eastern Theater Command on Tuesday dispatched warships, anti-submarine warfare aircraft and fighter jets in surrounding maritime and aerial areas near the southwest and southeast directions of the island of Taiwan for military exercises, including joint live-fire assaults, and also for testing the troops' integrated joint operation capabilities, Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesperson of the command, announced on the same day."

🇨🇳☭ Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China on twitter:
— "39 years ago today, China and the US jointly published the August 17 Communiqué. The US side made the pledge that “it intends gradually to reduce its sale of arms to Taiwan, leading, over a period of time, to a final resolution”.

The one-China principle is at the core of the communiqué, as well as the other 2 China-US joint communiqués.

But the US keeps breaching its own commitment, engaging in official exchanges with the Taiwan region & selling arms to it. The Chinese side has made strong reactions to these wrong moves to firmly safeguard its sovereignty & security interests."
🇨🇳☭ Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China on twitter:
— "China will make every effort with the utmost sincerity for peaceful reunification. In the meantime, we reserve the option of taking all necessary measures in response to foreign interference and the separatist activities of the very small number of "Taiwan independence" forces.

No one should underestimate the strong determination, firm will & strong capability of the Chinese people to safeguard national sovereignty & territorial integrity.

China urges the US to stop official contacts & military ties with Taiwan, stop arms sales to Taiwan, and reject the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and their separatist activities."
