China will “not hesitate to start a war” and “smash to smithereens” any Taiwan independence efforts, its defence minister warned his US counterpart in the pair’s first face-to-face talks.

"If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese army will definitely not hesitate to start a war no matter the cost,” Defence Minister Wei Fenghe said during a meeting with Lloyd Austin on the sidelines of Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore on Friday.

"The PLA [People’s Liberation Army] would have no choice but to fight … and crush any attempt of Taiwan independence, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity.” "Taiwan is China’s Taiwan… Using Taiwan to contain China will never prevail,” it said in a statement.

The United States is Taiwan’s most important international supporter and arms supplier, a source of constant friction between Washington and Beijing. In the latest arms package, the US announced on Wednesday the sale of parts for Taiwanese naval ships at an estimated cost of $120m.

During the meeting, Wei told Austin the sale “seriously undermined China’s sovereignty and security interests”, according to state broadcaster CCTV’s military channel. China has increased military activity near the island in recent years, claiming the moves are a response to what it calls  “collusion” between Taipei and Washington.

Why won't you allow her to exist as an independent neighbouring state? Austrian and German's are one yet we don't get such threat from Germany. Where was china when the US took up Taiwan like an abandoned baby and nurse her to economic prosperity? If Taiwan was as poor as Bangladesh, Srilanka or Cambodia would they be willing to go war for her sake? Clausewitz was right when he said "War is a continuation of economics by other mean"

China want to reap where they didn’t sow

China have the right to take over Taiwan

China under the People's Republic of China instituted a one nation policy but has a very loose complication with Taiwan as compared with Macao and Hong Kong!
Taiwan was under Japan and from there it became complicated
