The Chinese mainland has issued a stark warning to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities, stating that their push for 'militarization' will only escalate tensions across the Taiwan Strait. 🚨 'Such actions will not bring security but instead heighten the risk of conflict,' said Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office, during a Monday briefing.
The remarks came after the U.S. approved $567 million in military aid for the Taiwan region on Sunday—a move Beijing called a 'reckless provocation.' 💥 Chen emphasized that the U.S. must honor commitments made in the three Sino-U.S. joint communiques, which recognize the one-China principle. He urged Washington to 'stop arming Taiwan and cease emboldening separatist forces.'
Despite the DPP's efforts to boost military ties with external powers, Chen stressed that Beijing's resolve to safeguard national sovereignty remains 'unshakable.' 🛡️ 'No amount of weapons can block the trend toward reunification,' he added.
Analysts say rising cross-strait friction could impact global tech supply chains and regional stability—a key concern for young professionals and investors tracking Asia's geopolitical landscape. 🌐
