[Kenneth Erwin Engelhardt]

China has launched large-scale military drills around Taiwan, warning the US to end visits to Taiwan and adhere to the One-China policy. Taiwan's new president, William Lai Ching-te, has called on China to stop intimidating his country. The international community has expressed concern over China's actions, with the UN reaffirming its stance on the One-China principle. The situation has sparked a debate on the likelihood of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan and the potential consequences for regional stability.

In recent statements, China has issued a stern warning to the United States, urging an end to all visits to Taiwan and adherence to the One-China policy. Beijing's stance comes amid growing tensions and increased military activity around the self-governing island. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, emphasized that any consequences arising from congressional visits to Taiwan will be borne by the United States. This follows a series of actions and statements from Beijing that reflect its long-standing claim over Taiwan and opposition to U.S. interactions with Taiwan authorities. China's warning is part of a broader pattern of responses to U.S. actions concerning Taiwan. Previous interactions, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's planned visit to Taiwan in 2022, have drawn similar rebukes from Beijing, indicating a consistent stance against perceived interference in its internal affairs. The One-China policy, which the U.S. acknowledges, states that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China. However, the U.S. maintains a "robust unofficial relationship" with Taiwan, including arms sales to support its defense capabilities, which has been a point of contention with China. Recent U.S. congressional visits to Taiwan have increased in frequency, further straining U.S.-China relations. China has responded to these visits with military exercises and diplomatic warnings, underlining its commitment to reunifying Taiwan with the mainland, by force if necessary. The situation is further complicated by the U.S.'s obligations under the Taiwan Relations Act, which requires providing Taiwan with sufficient military hardware and technology to deter invasion. This has led to continued arms sales to Taiwan, which China vehemently opposes. As tensions continue to rise, the international community watches closely. The U.S. and China's ability to navigate this sensitive issue will not only impact their bilateral relations but also have significant implications for regional and global stability. In conclusion, China's recent warnings to the United States reflect its unwavering stance on Taiwan and its determination to enforce the One-China policy. As both countries navigate this complex issue, the international community hopes for diplomacy and dialogue to prevail over conflict.

Nobody takes the Chinese final warning seriously.

Even in the USSR people joked about it meaning meaningless.
