The situation between China and Taiwan is getting worse. Meanwhile, Taiwan's Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng has made a big claim about China. The defense minister said on Wednesday that China had crossed an informal middle line in the Taiwan Strait.
This action of China has destroyed the silent agreement on military activities with Taiwan. Chiu told Taiwan's parliament that if China crossed the 'red line', Taiwan would be forced to react.
China-Taiwan dispute
Significantly, after the visit of US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in August, China tried to put pressure on Taiwan by conducting military exercises continuously. While China considers Taiwan its province, Taiwan says that it has never been a part of China.
Earlier, the US State Department had also made a big claim about China. He had said that China wants to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. At a media briefing, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said it has been clear for some time that there is a side that wants to change the status quo.
There was a silent agreement on the middle line
For information, let us tell you that the middle line is considered a silent agreement between China and Taiwan, which was destroyed by China on Wednesday. China has never officially recognized the middle line.
An American general drew this line between communist China and US-backed Taiwan during the Cold War in 1954. However, the People's Liberation Army always respected the agreement. But now the pressure on Taiwan is increasing as China crosses the Red Line.
what is the midline
The Gulf of Taiwan is about 180 km wide and its narrowest part and midline are about 25 km from Taiwanese waters. Taiwan officials have warned that China's presence near Taiwan's waters is putting pressure on Taiwan's military. This would make the Chinese siege even easier.
China does not recognize the middle line
On the middle line, China said that its armed forces have the right to operate around Taiwan because it is Chinese territory. Taiwan has rejected China's claims of sovereignty, saying that China has never ruled Taiwan and that only Taiwan's 23 million people have the right to decide their future.
