live-fire drills in Taiwan Strait as tensions mount with island nation
tensions between China and Taiwan have reached fever pitch
after the Chinese People's Liberation army-navy PLA carried out live-fire
drills in the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday in a sign of increasing violence between
the nations over the disputed sovereignty of the island beijing has
been seeking to isolate Taiwan in a bid to reclaim control over the territory
and two of the islands few remaining allies switched allegiance to China in
the past month alone Liu ji China's director of the Taiwan Affairs
Office said the drills were carried out in a bid to safeguard China's
sovereignty and integrity in April the Chinese official stated the mainland has
repeatedly made it clear that it seeks peaceful cross-strait relations but only
under the one-china principle and the live-fire drill is an important
strategic step to warn Taiwan separatists that they should mend their
ways professor Lee shangguan from Beijing
Union University's Institute of Taiwan studies said relations between Taiwan
and China had reached a new low due to Taiwanese individuals pushing for
independence of the island in a direct attack on the US he added the military
drill sends a message to the US that it should stop backing the separatists on
the island however military experts believe China will most likely not
invade Taiwan despite its aggressive drills in the Taiwan Strait Sam
Roggeveen senior fellow at the loi Institute said China isn't planning to
storm Taiwan's beaches dot but he questioned why in the midst of a massive
modernization drive has the PLA Navy not built the forces to conquer Taiwan he
also pointed to the fact China has not produced sufficient numbers of
amphibious assault vessels including tank landing ships despite this being
well within China's technical capability mr. rock beam concluded my
guess is that the PLA has decided that even with a massive amphibious fleet
retaking Taiwan by force would be incredibly costly in lives and resources
the modernization of China's Navy has been mainly focused on the development
of larger ships used in longer range missions tensions between China and
Taiwan have risen sharply since the election of President sighing when in
2016 after which five countries cut their ties with Taiwan the Beijing
sceptic leader refuses to agree with China's claim that Taiwan is part of one
China Beijing still considers Taiwan a renegade province that must be reunited
with the mainland despite the fact the two nations split in 1949 after a civil
war thanks for watch please share like comment this video and subscribe channel
