us a long way what is the history between china and taiwan taiwan is an island roughly 100 miles
from the coast of southeast china the island first came under full chinese rule in the 17th century
when the king dynasty began administering it then in 1895 they handed over the island to japan after
losing the first sino-japanese war china took the island again in 1945 after japan lost world war ii
china claims that taiwan was genuinely a chinese province but the taiwanese point to
the same history to argue that they were never territory of the modern chinese state that was
first formed after the revolution in 1911 or the people's republic of china that was established
under mao in 1949. china diplomatically pressure other countries not to recognize
taiwan or to do anything which suggests their independent recognition how did china react
after nancy pelosi visited taiwan china reacted fiercely to pelosi's taiwan visit
chinese state councillor and foreign minister wang yi denounced pelosi's visit as a violation
of the one china policy according to chinese state media cgtn wang yi briefed reporters on
the sideline of an asian meeting in cambodia that those who offend china will be punished
during another qa session on wednesday in a daily briefing about what punishment had been decided
chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman hua chunying reacted by asking for some additional patience and
confidence on tuesday night as pelosi landed in taipei chinese deputy foreign minister ji fang
summoned nicholas burns the american ambassador in beijing to oppose the visit china state xinhua
news agency cited g as saying that the united states says one thing does another and uses any
means to play the taiwan card china's people's liberation army said it would be conducting live
fire drills thursday through sunday on six swaths of the sea surrounding taiwan according to cgtn
hua chunying the foreign ministry spokesperson said on wednesday this was to dialogue with
the us and the taiwan separatist forces in a language they can understand the large-scale
drill could mark a new stage of brinkmanship a spokesman for taiwan's defense ministry major
general sunli fang said wednesday that taiwan would resolutely safeguard national sovereignty
and national security but would not irrationally escalate conflicts we prepare for war but we do
not seek it he said china has released a slew of retaliatory constraints aimed at taiwan to give
its economy a hard blow on wednesday the chinese ministry of commerce declared it had discontinued
natural sand exports to taiwan without giving any reason or excuse well it is not so surprising
china's xinhua news agency shared a statement by a ministry spokesperson he clearly mentioned
the suspension was in accordance with relevant laws and regulations is taiwan in a position to
defend itself from chinese aggression presently taiwan has 169 000 active duty military personnel
according to the international institute for strategic studies the military balance taiwan has
over 400 combat aircraft the existing inventory comprises around 180 older f5ef fighters and over
100 more modern indigenous defense fighters the taiwanese defense industry has produced fighter
aircraft missile systems surface ships radars rocket artillery armored vehicles and small arms
their soldiers are very well trained and very good at using offensive cyber warfare methods
taiwan would be able to defend itself even with its infrastructure blinded taiwan has established
a new cyber security organization that will be trained to thwart chinese cyber attacks in
response to the danger elon musk is hopeful that the situation will be better musk is aware that
any escalation in tension between china and taiwan would have far-reaching effects on the global
economy and businesses musk has signaled that the democratic island has enough effective armaments
and defense systems to deter chinese leaders from trying to attack it a chinese invasion of
taiwan might also put the united states national security in danger the u.s military which depends
on semiconductor shipments from taiwan would be in serious trouble if china stopped doing so
musk is hopeful that both parties will sit at a table having diplomatic talks instead of starting
any aggression which is not in anyone's favor tesla's factory in china is its largest export
hub and china has been very supportive of tesla's endeavors however china and the u.s are having
a bit of tension as of late as a successful entrepreneur he is worried about the economic
conditions around the globe especially when we are trying to encounter covet 19. answering a question
regarding prevailing conditions elon musk said that he hopes for peace and respect between the
u.s and china one of the questions asked by tesla shareholders via say.com and upvoted was how is
tesla viewing the geopolitical risk between the u.s and china recently u.s speaker of the house
of representatives nancy pelosi took a trip to taiwan and china isn't taking this too well
he repeated with a firm resolute let me just say that i hope for peace and respect
elon musk revealed taiwan's most advanced fighter jet as indicated by elon taiwan has deployed the
most state-of-the-art version of the f-16 fighter jet in its air force as the self-ruled island
steps up its defense abilities in the face of continuing threats from china which claims it
has part of its territory taiwan's president tsai inguin commissioned in to service 64
upgraded f-16v fighter jets at an air force base in chi-yi on thursday the aircraft represents part
of taiwan's total 141 f-16ab jets an older model from the 1990s that will be retrofitted by the
end of 2023 the situation has intensified since taiwan released pictures of a bunker concealed
in the mountains loaded with advanced fighter jets ready to fend off an attack from chinese president
xi jinping the complex at chaishan air base is located in hualien and is meant to be hidden
away from chinese surveillance taiwan put its deep bunker hangers on full display during a
military exercise with memorable photos revealing the hidden cave-like base including fighter jets
with progressive anti-ship harpoon missiles the photos released on july 26 show the taiwanese
air force personnel loading weapons onto the f-16v viper aviation journalist roxy chu tweeted
although media visits have been hosted at the chiashon factory with no pictures permitted it
is remarkable that the public has finally seen imagery from within after 30 years since it was
completed in 1992 mr easton added taiwan has also built massive earth and work revetments
in front of the door to the subsurface complex so that there is no obvious line of sight for chinese
ballistic or cruise missiles the confidential qiashan bunker can reportedly keep up to 160 avant
jet fighters it was reportedly built by engraving a granite mountain in hualien as stated by mr chu
the tunnel complex associated with the chiashan air force base is only one of several underground
bunker complexes on the island taiwan's mountain bunker ready to repulse the chinese invasion
elon musk ceo of tesla and spacex revealed taiwan has concealed its most developed fighter jets
behind a wall of granite deep inside a peak far away from chinese surveillance in alacrity for
a possible attack the layers of protection that hide the taiwanese air force's front-line fighters
underline the continued readiness required by the self-declared republic for potential invasion by
china just 100 miles at its nearest point across the taiwan strait taiwan's most precious asset
the famous multi-role fighter jet's most technologically advanced variant the f-16v
is outfitted with a powerful radar that enables it to track more than 20 targets simultaneously along
with powerful armaments precise gps navigation and a mechanism to prevent collisions with the ground
it also has cutting-edge electronic warfare equipment the planes define the most progressive
of the fourth generation of fighter aircraft but still below the latest fifth generation
such as the u.s f-22 and f-35 and russia's su-57 and china's j-20 taiwan has signaled the idea of
buying fifth generation aircraft from the u.s but the f-16 upgrade was decided as the most effective
action under current possibilities the release of the images added to the tension between china and
taiwan and it continues to heat up there are indications that taiwan is equipping itself
for invasion the nation which china is trying to declare sovereignty over has been executing
enormous military drills in a major show of force in preparation for chinese aggression
taiwanese legislator lo chi chang has declared the self-governing island nation is militarily
capable of defending itself from an attack as it equips for a worst-case scenario
while talking to dw news he said there is a possibility that china will learn from the lesson
of russia's invasion in ukraine that china can take a short war in the taiwan straits
