The Chinese foreign ministry said on Monday it was in touch with Prague over President-elect Petr Pavel's scheduled call with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-Wen.

on Monday, Pavel's spokeswoman said, a highly unusual move given the lack of formal ties and a diplomatic coup for Taipei that is likely to anger China.

China claims the self-ruled island of Taiwan as a province and most countries' leaders avoid high-level public interactions with Taiwan and its president, not wishing to provoke China, the world's second largest economy. In Beijing's first response to what could become a full-blown diplomatic row with Prague, the Chinese foreign ministry said Pavel had previously said during his election campaign that the One-China Principle should be respected, according to a statement sent to Reuters.

"The Chinese side...is currently seeking verification with the Czech side, hope the Czech side strictly upholds the One-China Principle," the foreign ministry said.

McCaul: Chances of China-Taiwan Conflict 'Very High' if Biden Continues to Project 'Weakness'House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) said on this week's broadcast of 'Fox News Sunday' that the possibility of war between China and Taiwan is 'very high.' | Clips One can only assume he's corrupt somehow, by his support of the Nazis in the Ukraine, instead of securing our border. My question is ‘Why aren’t the chances of KEEPING THE PEACE high?’…are our “elected officials” incapable of maintaining peace China can threaten Taiwan because they know Biden is weak and compromised by China.

How America Would Be Screwed If China Invades TaiwanChina’s vast fleet of ships is ready to inflict huge losses on the U.S. Navy which would set back the country’s standing for many years. The chips are down? I mean, if we lose 8% of our surface vessels and China loses 80% of theirs that's not 'screwed'. That's just an extremely costly conflict that we would 'win'. It's bad, but the reliable threat that we would counter and the high costs of that is what actually keeps Taiwan safe. Na, because America has loaded tiawan up with ship killing missles that reach out over 100 miles (100 miles from tiawan to china) & AA that will knock down any aircraft. Ah ha . Well only wish they had foresight like that.
