Chinese military leaders are announcing new multi-domain war preparations around the island of Taiwan and massively escalating anti-US rhetoric and making threatening statements.

Quoting a spokesperson from the People’s Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command warning that the US support for Taiwan could become “dangerous…with the US facing serious consequences.”

“Taiwan is a part of China”

The Chinese government-backed Global Times suggests that the Chinese response is related to recent comments from President Biden that the US would intervene militarily to defend Taiwan in the event of military conflict with China.

“Taiwan is a part of China, and the theater command troops are determined and capable of defeating any secessionist attempts by external or “Taiwan independence” forces, and firmly safeguarding national sovereignty and security as well as peace and stability in the region,” the Chinese spokesperson said, according to the paper.

The paper also quotes an official from China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs warning the US as well with “unbearable costs” in response to Biden’s comments.
