Tensions across the Taiwan strait are the highest they have been for many years, with China now flying fighter jets towards the self-governing island's airspace on a daily basis.
"In 2027, Xi Jinping is likely to go into his fourth term, and, if in his previous three terms he cannot claim any achievement during his office, he might need to think about something else for him to claim as his achievement or his legacy."If you look at the Chinese situation right now, the economy is going down. People are not happy, the real estate business seems to be melting down.
Chinese fighter jets are now flying towards Taiwanese airspace and crossing the so-called 'median line' – the unofficial maritime border – on a daily basis. Mr Wu said that the"worst case scenario" happening is now"more likely" than in previous years, and described how precarious the situation can be."If they cross the 24 nautical miles zone, some of our weapons systems might have to target those Chinese aircraft, and that might spark an accident, even though it might not be intentional for the Chinese pilots to cross the 24 nautical miles."We worry that might happen.
