China regards self-ruled Taiwan as a renegade province awaiting reunification with the mainland, by force if necessary. Taiwan says it will defend its freedoms and democracy. Starting this year, the ministry said China has increased its military intimidation including drills that aim to undermine Taiwan’s morale and “force negotiations with a war” and “force a unification with arms”.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is also being studied by China and has prompted them to “modify” their Taiwan attack plans, the ministry said, without elaborating.
