Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te made the comments during an event on the Kinmen islands off China’s coast, which Taiwan controls. China sees Taiwan as part of its territory and has labeled Lai a “dangerous separatist.”

Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te on Friday said that Taiwan would not give up an inch of its territory as he visited the Kinmen islands off the coast of China.

Lai was speaking at an event marking the 75th anniversary of the victory over communist forces in the Battle of Guningtou that saw the Kinmen and the Matsu islands fall under the control of Taiwan.

    From what I understand china is just one major world disruption from mass starvation. Starving people don’t care about social credits. The US isn’t much better off in that regard.

      Can you clarify this? Is China suffering from droughts and flooding (droughts up north, flooding down south) that’s affecting its food supply? I thought this was last year and that things have been better weather-wise?

        Every nation is a few, one or two failed harvests from starvation. China already relies on imports to make up their shortfalls in food production. Without those imports the people will starve. In a war those shipments will be disrupted. If the war drags on people will starve in china. As always it wont be the elite that starve. It will be the lowest. You want a revolution. Thats how you get a revolution.
