China has ramped up military and political pressure against democratically governed Taiwan over the past two years as it seeks to assert its sovereignty claims, which the government in Taipei strongly rejects.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of parliament, Chen Ming-tong, head of Taiwan’s National Security Bureau said Mr. Xi would face disaster if he followed through on his threats of ever attacking Taiwan.China would face international sanctions and diplomatic isolation for doing so, he added. Taiwan’s government says only the island’s 23 million people can decide their future, and that as Taiwan has never been ruled by the People’s Republic of China its sovereignty claims are void.
