Taiwan said on Monday its armed forces have the right to self-defence and counter attack amid 'harassment and threats', in an apparent warning to China, which last week sent numerous jets across the mid-line of the sensitive Taiwan Strait.

TAIPEI - Taiwan said on Monday its armed forces have the right to self-defence and counter attack amid “harassment and threats”, in an apparent warning to China, which last week sent numerous jets across the mid-line of the sensitive Taiwan Strait.

Chinese aircraft crossed the mid-line to enter the island’s air defence identification zone on Friday and Saturday, prompting Taiwan to scramble jets to intercept them, and President Tsai Ing-wen to call China a threat to the region. “Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told reporters in Beijing. “The so-called mid-line of the Strait does not exist.”

China has been angered by stepped-up U.S. support for Taiwan, including two visits in as many months by top officials, one in August by Health Secretary Alex Azar and the other last week by Keith Krach, undersecretary for economic affairs.

Taiwan definitely owns the right fighting back against the ccp in case it threatens Taiwan's safety.

Yes. We need to defend our freedom and liberty. No to China

Taiwan is part of China. For the sake of peace, don’t push mainland China and Taiwan China to get involved into the second Chinese civil war. Don’t play Taiwan as a disposable puppet.

台湾や香港が、攻撃や人権侵害をされたら、台湾が、北京に、イージス艦から、原爆ミサイルを打つことになると、ほのめかしておけば、抑止できる。そのための、イージス艦。だから、話し合いで、解決するしかない。

该死的中国共产党,话都不让人说,百度发个驱逐广州黑人,直接删帖,说共产党剥夺了人民的政治权利直接封号,到现在还没恢复。 不只是百度,腾讯QQ也不让发表政治言论。阿里旺旺更是屏蔽'共产党'等很多字,只要包含敏感字你都发不出去。剥夺政治权利也就算了,连话都不让人说。共产党集权专治真它妈黑
