US Should Stop Dragging Taiwan Into War, China Says
01:19 GMT 22.10.2021 (Updated: 12:43 GMT 19.06.2023) UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The international community should call on the United States to stop dragging Taiwan into a war, China’s Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun said.
In early October, the Wall Street Journal reported that US Marines and special operations forces have been
secretly training Taiwanese soldiers on the island for at least a year, to defend against possible Chinese aggression.
China in recent days sent almost 150 military aircraft close to Taiwan while US and other allied forces
conducted drills in the South China Sea.
"Some countries, the US, in particular, is taking dangerous actions, leading the situation in Taiwan Strait into a dangerous direction," Zhang said during a press briefing on Thursday. "At this moment, what we should call is that the United States stops such practice. Dragging Taiwan into a war, definitely, is in nobody's interest."
Taiwanese Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng previously
claimed that Beijing might consider mounting a full-scale invasion of the island by 2025. The statement came after Beijing sent nearly 150 military aircraft into Taiwan's air defense zone on October 1.
