Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – China is in the news again. The heat of the situation with Taiwan is one of them.
It is said that China will attack Taiwan on November 3, 2020. This is revealed from the taunts of Hu Xijin, the media leader. Global times affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party government.
But it is not China that decides when to do this. Hu Xijin said that the phrase actually came from the United States (US).
“Bad what the Taiwanese authorities have done so that more than one former US official who employs the PLA (Chinese National Army) attacks Taiwan on Sunday, November 3, when the US presidential elections are held,” he wrote on his Twitter account, quoted on Tuesday (9/22/2020)
“Tsai Ing-wen (President of Taiwan) must reflect on himself, or he will be the ‘President’ of Taiwan overthrown by the PLA.”
Hu Xijin’s statement commented on an article that appeared in the US media, The Hill. An article was published entitled “US elections could be dangerous for Taiwan, an opportunity for China.”
In the post, the media contributor wrote that it would be good for China to go on strike on November 3. Because at the time the United States was in a succession crisis that made the country less likely to intervene.
Previously, China and Taiwan were tense. For China, Taiwan is a province, but Formosa denies it.
Taiwan also received support from the United States. This makes China-Taiwan relations even fiercer.
On Sunday (9/20/2020), for example, the Taiwan Air Force deployed fighter jets for the second time by identifying the appearance of Chinese jets crossing the island and the Taiwan Strait. The Taiwanese government urged Beijing to withdraw from the scene.
Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said at least 19 Chinese planes were circling the island area, up from 18 previously estimated the day before. They crossed the central line of the Taiwan Strait and flew into the area identified as the country’s air defense territory.
This comes after US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Keith Krach arrived in Taipei on Thursday. It was the first time a senior US State Department official had arrived in four decades.
Meanwhile, the air force of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) released a war simulation video. The video is titled “God of War H-6K Continues to Attack!” and uploaded to the official Weibo account, on Saturday (9/19/2020).
According to Reuters, it appears that the attacker in the simulation was the Andersen Air Force Base on the United States (US) Pacific island of Guam. This coincided with the second day of China’s military exercises near Taiwan, as an expression of the anger of the Bamboo Curtain country at the visit of senior US officials.
