WASHINGTON - US Central Intelligence Agency director William Burns said on Saturday that China is closely monitoringand that it is affecting Chinese leaders’ calculations over Taiwan, the self-ruled

island claimed by Beijing.

“I think the Chinese leadership is looking very carefully at all this – at the costs and consequences of any effort to use force to gain control over Taiwan,” Burns said. “I don’t for a minute think that this has eroded Xi’s determination over time to gain control over Taiwan,” said Burns. “But I think it’s something that’s affecting their calculation about how and when they go about doing that.”Beijing and Moscow declared a “no-limits” strategic partnership several weeks before the Feb 24 invasion, and have been forging closer energy and security ties in recent years to push back on the United States and the West.

Taiwan says it hopes world would sanction China if it invadesTAIPEI: Taiwan hopes that the world would sanction China like it is sanctioning Russia for its war on Ukraine if Beijing invaded the island, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said on Saturday (May 7). Taiwan h I do not think the Taiwanese leaders are so idiotic as the western propaganda Reuter sources tried to make them out to be. What is the point of 'world sanction' when your country is in ruin ? Look at Ukraine today. Not that I believe China will harm Taiwan in any case. Republic of China (ROC) shld really try declare that mainland China has seceded from China since 1949 Oct 1 and thus ROC would now cease to claim any territories beyond its current de facto control and recognise PRC as 'West China' instead. This should solve everything perm. then have another 'winston churchill', asian version?
