China says it will take Taiwan back under control with force if necessary. But the island nation appears to have other ideas.
China’s president Xi Jinping has ramped up the country’s rhetoric about absorbing Taiwan back into the Chinese mainland but the independent island nation isn’t going without a fight.
The democratic nation of nearly 24 million people responded to China’s declared intention of diplomatic annexation by flexing its military muscle.
===================================================
Taiwan doesn't stand a chance against the military might of China but it intends to defend itself by making the annexation process as bloody as possible. Taiwan released a videos showing off its supersonic missile system capable of warding off Chinese warships. An improved Mach 3 anti-ship missile is in development along with an improved turbojet engine for cruise missiles.
'The US has remained active in The Taiwan Strait to counteract China’s growing assertiveness. In a kind of diplomatic brinkmanship, both countries have been keen to project a show of force in the region, raising fears it could become a flashpoint for conflict.'
