Washington/Taipei/Canberra – The Chinese President, Xi Jinping, ordered the military to augment readiness. China will attack Taiwan in the near future. US leaders have been claiming that the US will rush to Taiwan’s security if that happens. A senior Pentagon official warned that if China attacks Taiwan, there will be a big conflict between the US and China, and then war will break out in space between the two countries. Leaders and analysts of the Communist Party of China have been warning of an attack on Taiwan. President Jinping has also publicly said that Taiwan would soon merge with China. China’s navy has stepped up its activities near the Taiwan Strait. China is also expanding its navy. Against this backdrop, officials from the US Navy have issued a pointed statement.
‘If China attacks Taiwan in the future, the US will participate in this war. This will lead to a major war. If this happens, the US and China will attack military satellites to disable each other’s precision attack missiles. This will turn the Taiwan war into a war in space,’ a news channel reporter warned, quoting Pentagon officials.
Furthermore, some military officials also warn of a cyber war between the US and China after the attack on Taiwan. The ‘Indo-Pacific Command-INDOPACOM’ has warned that if a war with China breaks out, the US will run out of arms in seven days. To avoid this, INDOPACOM suggested increasing the budget of INDOPACOM, as well as integrating the US’ advanced air and cyber security systems by 2027. China has planned an attack on Taiwan in 2027. Therefore, the US should increase its military preparedness before that, INDOPACOM said. In the meantime, the Australian Defence Minister has made a startling claim, stating that if a conflict erupts between the US and China concerning Taiwan, Australia’s role in the war is uncertain. Previously, Australia had clearly indicated that it would support Taiwan against China. Therefore, the shift in Australia’s stance is noteworthy.
