‘All China Can Do Is Talk’: Taiwan Official Dismisses Beijing’s Threats After US Military Aircraft Landing in Taipei
In the face of the United States’ deepening engagements with Taiwan, the Chinese communist regime can do nothing but issue stern warnings, an official of the democratic island told The Epoch Times.
On July 15, a U.S. Air Force C-146-A Wolfhound landed in Taiwan, delivering “diplomatic mail” to the de facto U.S. embassy in Taipei—marking the second U.S. military aircraft to land on the island in less than two months.
The stopover drew anger from the Chinese communist regime, which sees Taiwan as part of its territory despite the island having been governed for decades as a separate entity. Its defense ministry on Thursday warned that foreign countries entering the regime’s airspace without approval would lead to “serious consequences.” It also warned the United States that it was “playing with fire” and said the Taiwan government was “inviting danger.”
