Tensions between China and Taiwan are escalating as China threatens to use force to halt Taiwan’s aspirations for independence. According to BRICS News, China has stated its intent to forcibly stop any attempts by Taiwan to become independent, causing concern on the international stage and further straining relations between the two countries.
China’s Defense Minister Wei Fenghe, quoted by CNN, stated that China seeks peaceful reunification with Taiwan. However, he noted that “advocates of Taiwan independence and foreign forces” are obstacles. Wei Fenghe also stressed that China is ready to take “resolute measures” to curb Taiwan’s independence aspirations.
These statements from China raise serious questions about possible military plans for Taiwan. The global community is closely monitoring the situation and calls for a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

- The tension between China and Taiwan is one of the key geopolitical issues in Asia. China considers Taiwan part of its territory and does not rule out the use of military force for reunification. On the other hand, Taiwan, which has its own government and democratic system, strives to maintain its independence.
- The international community, including the United States, calls for stability and peaceful resolution of the conflict. The US has repeatedly affirmed its support for Taiwan, which is also a factor of tension in relations with China.
- The increase of military activity around Taiwan, including military exercises by China and regular patrols, heightens fears of a possible military conflict. Such a situation prompts world leaders and diplomats to seek ways for de-escalation and ensuring peace in the region.
