Beijing/Taipei (Reuters) -China and Taiwan, Beijing’s Taiwan government as a provocation on the glory on the vocabulary warring the rival comments of history, and already “invading Chinese territory,” he said.
China sees Taiwan as its own region democratically and increased military and political pressure in the last five years. China has a special discontent with Taiwan’s president Lai Ching-Te.
Lai made two speeches for “unite the country”, saying that Taiwan has been a “country” since Sunday and that China has no legal or historical right to claim it.
Speaking at a regular news briefing in Beijing on Wednesday, Taiwan Affairs Office Spokesman Zhu Fenglian said that any “independence provocation” and management of Lai will face “determined counter measures”.
“Although the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have not yet come together again, the historical and legal truth that the citizens of both sides belong to a China and that the citizens of both sides have never changed in China,” he said.
The tensions between China and Taiwan have increased the likelihood of Taiwan’s threats to force a regional war, including several rounds of war games, including a few rounds of war games.
China’s latest war games were in April, and according to the island’s Ministry of Defense, the air force and navy operate in Taiwan daily, sometimes using dozens of fighter planes.

“Taiwan is a part of China; there is no invasion to speak,” he said.
Lai receives a different opinion about Taiwan’s status and future.
In his speech late on Tuesday, he said that Taiwan would be decided by the people, not a democratic decision by any party or president, and that the “independence of Taiwan” is not a part of the People’s Republic of China.
Founded after the 1911 Revolution, which dropped the last Emperor, the renewed Chinese Republic fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war to the communists of Mao Zedong and remained the official name of the island.
“How old is the Chinese Republic? 113 years old and will be 114 years old this year. The People’s Republic of China is only 70 years old, isn’t it? Simple and clear,” he said.
The 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War is another sensitive issue and invited former troops fought for the Chinese Republic of China to a military parade in Beijing in early September.
Taiwan does not want them to join, and on Wednesday, Defense Minister Wellington Koo said Beijing was trying to break the history.
“The war of resistance was ruled and won by the Chinese Republic, not the People’s Republic of China,” the resistance war was ruled and won – in the parliament.
