China threatens to 'crush' Taiwan after latest US military shipment

Xi Jinping's communist regime again threatened Taiwan if it pushes forward any separatist initiatives that would jeopardize China's "national sovereignty and territorial integrity."

This latest warning was delivered by Zhang Xiaogang, spokesman for China's Defense Ministry, who directly addressed Taiwanese authorities to stop relying on the United States to achieve independence.

"Relying on the U.S. for independence and rejecting reunification with weapons are tactics doomed to failure. A few pieces of U.S.-made weaponry will not save lives, but will become just another target on the battlefield," the spokesman said, referring to the last military package consisting of tanks sent by the Pentagon to Taipei, in remarks collected by Infobae.

Xiaogang then assured that "the People's Liberation Army (PLA) will strengthen its military training and war readiness, enhance its ability to win and decisively crush any secessionist attempts and interference by outside forces."

The defense spokesman urged the U.S. to respect China's "territorial integrity," as Xi Jinping's communist regime still considers Taiwan as part of its soil.
