Beijing says there is no concept of "Taiwan territorial waters"

5

PRC state media informed the local and international community that the PLA will now conduct regular maneuvers east of the Taiwan Strait's median line. Beijing stated that there is no concept of "Taiwan territorial waters", since these are the internal waters of the PRC, which also applies to airspace.

It should be noted that mainland China made the most of the excuse that came up. Washington decided to carry out a provocation and sent a delegation of American congressmen led by Nancy Pelosi to visit Taipei, although Beijing very insistently asked not to do this and to observe the principle of one China. Now the PRC has increased its military activity around Taiwan, which already resembles a kind of blockade and is going to reconsider its approaches to this activity that existed earlier.



The PLA has already extended until August 15 large-scale maneuvers of all branches of the military near the island and on the adjacent coast of mainland China, which were supposed to end on August 7. But there is a possibility that Beijing will do it again. Thanks to the US trick, China is providing Taiwan political, military and economic pressure. The maneuver itself is detrimental to Taiwan, as it has canceled many flights and greatly reduced shipping.

In addition, Beijing imposed sanctions on Taipei, promising to expand them, which should have an impact on the Taiwanese. In 2024, Taiwan is to hold presidential elections on the island, and the PRC wants them to be won by the opposition Kuomintang party, which is not against unification under certain conditions.

    Taiwan is vital to China. More than half of the world's microprocessor production is concentrated there. There is also production in China, but it is based on outdated architecture. I will add that the visit of the Lithuanian delegation is not just happening. The transfer of these enterprises to Lithuania is discussed there. After that, you can give Taiwan to Beijing

      So they just take it and transfer it? Somehow I feel sorry for Taiwan. Is Tsai Ing-wen aware of Lithuanian raider plans?

      Yes, of course, relocation of enterprises to Lithuania laughing Why not Svalbard? Yes, and how to transfer them, if the planes do not fly, the boats do not swim?

    The only country in the world that can challenge both China and Russia is the Baltic Tiger.

    The whole world, including the UN and the United States, recognizes one China in the person of China, and therefore Beijing’s absolutely logical statement about the absence of the concept of “Taiwan territorial waters”, since these are the internal waters of China, which also applies to airspace.
