Tracing back to the world war 2 in 1945, the relationship between China and Taiwan was disputed as the administration of Taiwan was transfered from Japan to China. The tension between the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) and Republic of China (ROC) in thev1950s resulted in armed conflict over strategic islands in the Taiwan Strait.
With the existing tension, the meeting between US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with Taiwan President Tsai lng-Wen and other officials is believed to have fueled the already tensile environment. The white House warned that China is preparing itself for possible aggression.
The White House Spokeman John Kirby said, the announcement made by the People’s Republic of China political party was as earlier anticipated by USA.
Worse, President Tsai had presented Pelosi with a medal in order of Propitious clouds with special Grand Cordon, for her work promoting US-Taiwan ties. Something China perceives as direct support.
With the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war that displaced thousands and led to economic recession in almost all nations, what the world needs is economic recovery not another conflict that Intensifies the already worse situations.
China’s economy supports global economies, war to China would mean much loss to everyone else, an economic catastrophe. But with peace talks it can be prevented.
