Taipei/Beijing: – Taiwanese Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng warned ‘Even today, the Chinese defence forces can attack Taiwan. But as of now, they will not attack without provoking, as they will have to pay a very dear price. But by 2025, the cost of war and the losses that China may incur will be the lowest. After that, China will launch an all-out attack on Taiwan.’ Former US National Security Advisor (NSA) HR McMaster warned that the next 12 months are crucial for Taiwan, while the Taiwanese Defence Minister warns about 2025.
In the last four days, nearly 150 Chinese aircraft intruded into the Taiwanese Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ). While reacting to the increasing Chinese aggression against this background, the Taiwanese Defence Minister issued the warning of the comprehensive Chinese attack. Cheng is a former military official; he claimed that the tension created in the current times is the gravest situation in four decades. At the same time, the Defence Minister clarified that Taiwan would focus on anti-ship weapons and long-range missiles soon.
Strong reactions are being received on the international level regarding the Chinese aggression in the Taiwan region. Australia and Japan have fired salvos of criticism at the Chinese activities. Former US NSA McMaster said that the courage of the Chinese regime has increased as there were no significant repercussions on the international level on the Hongkong issue. He also claimed that China is forcing the United States and its allies to increase its military strength by strengthening its army rapidly.
‘There is a possibility of Taiwan being targeted after the Olympics and the Communist Party Convention in 2022. Former US NSA McMaster warned that 2022 is a critical year from the Taiwanese security point of view. He pointed out that many analysts and experts have also mentioned this. McMaster praised the AUKUS Deal, signed between the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia while addressing a function organised by the think tank, Hudson Institute.
