China has continuously strengthened its military threats once morest Taiwan, and has repeatedly declared that it will not give up its use of force to invade Taiwan. On the other hand, it has deepened its strategic partnership with Russia, which invaded Ukraine, which has aroused the vigilance of the international community. Foreign Minister Wu Zhaoxie warned in an exclusive interview with the British “Sky News Network” that the probability of China’s military invasion of Taiwan has increased. He believes that 2027 is the time point when Beijing is most likely to take action. Taiwan’s “status quo” may “not last forever.” .

Wu Zhaoxie mentioned that the situation deteriorated significantly last year compared with the previous two years. In 2027, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, may enter his fourth term; if he fails to achieve major achievements in the first three terms, Xi Jinping will try to make a name for himself in history in the new term. China’s economic growth is slumping, the public is dissatisfied, and the real estate market is showing signs of collapse; once unable to reverse the domestic situation, Xi Jinping may try to use force or create an external crisis to distract domestic attention or show his ability to the Chinese people.

Wu Zhaoxie said: “We are worried that Taiwan may become a scapegoat.” He also pointed out that compared with previous years, “the probability of the worst scenario has now increased”, and a small accident may ignite the flames of war. Once the common plane crosses the 24-mile (nautical mile) contiguous zone of Taiwan, some of Taiwan’s weapon systems may have to target, which may trigger accidents. The only way to prevent sudden escalation is “self-control”.

Wu Zhaoxie continued to point out that Taiwan’s air force pilots are well trained and they understand that Taiwan cannot deliver the first strike. Taiwan is essentially self-governing without formally declaring independence, a status quo that may not last forever. This means that Taiwan may be incorporated by China in the future, or become an independent country. Sky News (Sky News) released an exclusive interview with Wu Zhaoxie today, which also touched on Taiwan’s preparations to deal with China’s military threat.

Some military experts caution that Taiwan is still not fully prepared for a possible war. Wu Zhaoxie said that Taiwan is not complacent and indeed has shortcomings, including weapons and ammunition, military personnel training, and insufficient military strength in the past. However, Taiwan has announced a series of reform measures to do its best to ensure its self-defense capabilities. While Taiwan is willing to negotiate with China, it is unwilling to accept Beijing’s political prerequisites. Accepting the relevant political premise means capitulating to China, which the people of Taiwan will never accept.
