.SecBlinken & US allies must stop protesting China's military pressure on Taiwan, according to China. “Recently, there have been some absurd rhetoric accusing China of challenging the so-called rules-based international order,' a top Chinese envoy said.
“Recently, there have been some absurd rhetoric accusing China of challenging the so-called rules-based international order, of unilaterally changing the status quo across the Taiwan Strait through force or coercion, and of disrupting peace and stability across the Strait,” Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said Friday. “The logic is absurd, and the consequences dangerous.
“The Japanese who I work with each day consider Japan is like Poland; the Philippines is like Romania; China is like Russia; Taiwan is Ukraine,” Maj. Gen. Joel Vowell told reporters Thursday."Japan is worried ... that the People’s Liberation Army would have to at least block if not outright seize some of those islands to isolate Taiwan from an intervention by Western forces, if that’s the U.S., Japan, or whomever.
In that context, U.S. and allied governments have grown more outspoken about urging China “to abstain from threats, coercion, intimidation, or the use of force” against Taiwan or in other territorial disputes. South Korea, which historically has been preoccupied with the immediate threats from the North Korean dictatorship, has joined that chorus.
