CHINA has reportedly placed its military on "high alert" as state controlled media warned Taiwan of a looming "doomsday" amid fears of invasion.
Beijing and Taipei are feared to be sitting on the brink of a conflict which could end up drawing in the US and potentially spiralling into World War 3.
Both sides have traded barbs - and now China has issued some of its most strongly worded threats to date as it vows to "reunify" with the separatist island that has claimed independence since 1949.
Chinese defense ministry spokesman Tan Kefei described Beijing's military as an "high alert" and "ready to fight any time", according to Communist Party controlled newspaper The Global Times.
And he fired back at the US who accused China of destabilising the region by carrying out military drills which are seen as squarely aimed at Taiwan.
Dozens of warplanes have been buzzing the island's air space and mass beach landing operations have been carried out in exercises that are widely seen as rehearsals for - or at least threats of - a full scale invasion.
Tan reiterated that Taiwan belongs to China and accused the US of "confusing white with black" over the issue - pledging that "external interference" would be beaten back.

China’s issues with Taiwan are an internal Chinese matter. The US never recognized ROC Taiwan as a nation. USA should keep its troops and ships out of this affair. Operational condition of US forces might be OK to chase down conservatives in its ranks but not conducting military operation against China. We can’t afford it and we might get some of our ships sunk. The USN is in no condition to face down Communist China, we can’t even keep from colliding with merchant vessels.
