Another war started amid the Russo-Ukraine war. This war can be between China, one of the world's most powerful countries, and its neighboring country Taiwan. US President Joe Biden's statement has also come to the fore regarding this. Biden, who arrived in Japan to attend the Quad meeting, said in a stern tone that the US would take military action if Taiwan was attacked by China.
Let us know what is the whole matter, after all, why are there situations like a war between China and Taiwan? What is China planning and what is the meaning of the US President's statement about it?
First, know what is going on between Taiwan and China?
The talk of war between China and Taiwan is rising after the audio went viral. In this audio clip, senior Chinese officials were talking about the attack on Taiwan. It is said that this audio clip was leaked by a senior official of the Communist Party of China.
He wanted to expose Chinese President Xi Jinping's plan to attack Taiwan. In this clip, one officer is telling another which companies have been asked to increase the production capacity of drones and boats. The preparation for the attack is also being discussed.
What is the Chinese plan to attack Taiwan?
The planning of the attack on Taiwan has also been discussed in the viral audio. According to this, Guangdong province, adjacent to Taiwan, has been asked to deposit 239 materials related to the war in 20 different categories. This includes 1.40 lakh military personnel, 953 ships, 1,653 unmanned equipment, and connecting 20 airports with docks.
Apart from this, six repairs, shipbuilding yards, and resources like grain depot, hospital, blood bank, oil depot, and gas station have also been asked to be kept ready. China's National Defense Mobilization Recruitment Office has also been asked to recruit new soldiers. There is a plan to recruit a total of 15 thousand 500 military personnel, especially from Guangdong.
Taiwan also expressed fear of attack
It is not that on the strength of viral audio alone, there are speculations of war between China and Taiwan all over the world. It has also been feared by the Taiwan side. Recently, a handbook was released by the Taiwanese army. In this, the army has advised citizens to be prepared for a possible Chinese attack. Many things have been mentioned in this 28-page handbook.
Taiwan's Defense Ministry spokesman Sun Li-Feng said, 'This handbook contains information that will be useful to people during military crisis or disaster. It has been told how to find a safe place through the mobile app during the attack.
Taiwan's Defense Ministry's All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency official Liu Tai-Yi also gave information about this. He said, 'Through this handbook, the public can prepare themselves better before the war or any disaster. It has basic survival skills. People have been given complete information on how to avoid airstrikes, fires, building collapses, power outages, and natural calamities.
Chinese aircraft repeatedly enter Taiwan's border
China continues to try to infiltrate Taiwan. Or rather, there is a trick to scare Taiwan. For this purpose, Chinese aircraft infiltrate the Taiwan border every day. Most of these flights take place in the airspace southwest of Taiwan. This is called the Air Defense Identification Zone. According to a report, within the last year, China has made more than 100 such attempts. Therefore Taiwan's Air Force and Air Defense System is on alert.
Let us tell you that Taiwan and China were separated during the civil war in 1949, but China has been claiming this island as its own. As a result, Beijing opposes every action of the Taiwanese government. It continues to use diplomatic and military force to isolate and intimidate Taiwan.
What did the US President say and how did China respond?
US President Joe Biden, who arrived in Japan to participate in the Quad meeting, was asked questions by reporters about Taiwan and China. Responding to this, Biden said, 'If Taiwan is attacked by China, then America will take military action. China is taking a risk by infiltrating the Taiwan border.
He further said, 'After the Russian attack on Ukraine, the responsibility of defending Taiwan has increased even more. If China attacks, America will defend Taiwan with military help.
During this time the question was asked by the US President if China uses force to occupy Taiwan, will America intervene militarily? In response, Biden said, 'That's what we promised. We agreed to the One China Policy, we signed it. But it is wrong to think that Taiwan can be taken away by the use of force. A move to use force against Taiwan would not only be unfair but would destabilize the entire region.
After Biden's statement, the statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry also came to the fore. Chinese spokesman Wang Wenbin said, 'We will defend our national interests. No one should underestimate the determination and will of the Chinese people to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Taiwan is part of China. This issue is an internal matter in China. Will not compromise on issues related to China's core interests of the sovereignty and territorial integrity.
If there is a war between China and Taiwan, who will support whom?
To find out, we contacted Aditya Patel, a foreign affairs expert. He said, 'If there is a war between China and Taiwan, then there will be confusion again for many countries including India. However, the strategy of some countries is very clear in this matter. For example, America, NATO member countries, and many Western countries will openly support Taiwan. At the same time, Russia can go with China.
Patel says, 'This will be a serious situation for India because even if India has distanced itself from Russia-Ukraine, it will be very difficult to do so between China-Taiwan. This is because there has always been a dispute between China and India. In such a situation, if China can wage a war against Taiwan, then it will be possible to attack India later. In such a situation, if Taiwan's India does not support it, then many countries will avoid supporting India even during the war with India.
