According to the sources of Financial Times, a new tension has emerged in the international arena because of the statements of the head of the People's Republic of China (China) Si Jingin about Washington's attempts to provoke China to attack Taiwan. These statements were made during a meeting with the Chairman of the European Commission Ursula von Der Lyen.
According to the newspaper, such a conversation took place in April 2023.
According to Si Jinping, "the United States is trying to make China invade Taiwan, but it will not be listed." The newspaper sources report that the Chinese leader has declared the same to his officials.
Sy believes that involving in a direct or indirect military conflict with the United States "will destroy many China's achievements and undermine its purpose to achieve" great rejuvenation "by 2049."
The FT interlocutors from China believe that the only option when Beijing is forced to start hostilities - if the US "cross the red border" and officially support Taiwan's independence.
Washington is now officially adhering to the doctrine of one China, which provides that the island is the territory of the PRC. However, a law that allows Taiwan is adopted in the United States.
