US Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan, 24 US fighter jets gave security cover; China said – will definitely take military action
Speaker of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the US Parliament (like the Lok Sabha in India), has finally reached Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. 24 advanced fighter jets of the US Navy and Air Force escorted Nancy’s plane.
China’s state-run Global Times said recently that Pelosi’s plane could be flown if it went to Taiwan. Later it was also said that Chinese Air Force aircraft would surround Pelosi’s plane.
China threatens again
After Pelosi reached Taiwan, China again threatened America. According to the news agency AFP, China said – we will definitely take targeted military action. However, it was not clear on which targets China is threatening military action. Before this, all three of America, Taiwan and China asked their forces to be combat ready. All three countries issued high alert for the army.
What can china do
According to the report of ‘South China Morning Post’, after initially showing some hesitation, now the Joe Biden administration has made preparations to deal directly with China. China could not dare to stop Pelosi’s aircraft.
According to some experts, China only threatened. He will not do anything that will decide a direct confrontation with America. The reason for this is that now America has also become very powerful in this area.
Taiwan and America also ready
According to reports, the armies of America and Taiwan have made preparations to deal with China. Four US Navy warships are on high alert and patrolling Taiwan’s maritime border. These have highly advanced fighter jets and missiles like the F-16 and F-35. Reaper drones and laser guided missiles are also ready. If there is any interference from China, then America and Taiwan can attack it from both sides.
It is being said that China has kept long range Hudong rockets and tanks ready for action. It also has other military installations in the Taiwan Strait. He can use them. The US military is keeping a close eye on these antics. The USS Ronald Reagan Warship and Assault Ship are on high alert.
American soldiers in Taiwan
Some media reports have claimed that several US soldiers and military technical experts have reached Taiwan several days before Pelosi’s visit. In military terminology it is called boot on ground. In fact, America has now decided that China’s bigotry in the South China Sea or Taiwan Strait will have to be curbed.
The US has not yet clarified whether its troops are present in Taiwan or not. Last week, when a Pentagon spokesman was questioned about this, he declined to say anything.
China threatens again
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi threatened America again on Tuesday. Said- Those Americans who are doing politics on Pelosi’s visit. They are playing with fire. They will have to pay the price for it. Its outcome will not be good. Meanwhile, millions of people on the Internet are trying to find out when Pelosi’s aircraft will reach Taipei after leaving Kuala Lumpur through online trackers.
Why the tension on Taiwan?
China considers Taiwan its part under the One-China Policy, while Taiwan sees itself as an independent country. China’s goal has been to force Taiwan to bow to their political demands and accept China’s occupation.
Here, America also accepts the One China policy, but cannot see China’s occupation of Taiwan. Biden said 2 months ago – We agreed to the One China policy, we signed it, but it is wrong to think that Taiwan can be taken away by use of force. This step of China will not only be wrong, but it will throw the whole region into a new kind of war.
