China warns of force against Taiwan independence
China has warned the US that any attempt to make Taiwan independent from China will trigger military action by Beijing's forces.
Splitting Taiwan from China would leave the Chinese military with no choice but to "fight at any cost", Mr Wei said.He said there were record numbers of Chinese aircraft flying near the island on a near-daily basis, which "undermine peace and stability in the region". A spokesman quoted him as saying: "If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese People's Liberation Army will have no choice but fight at any cost and crush any attempt of 'Taiwan independence' and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
