As tensions persist between the U.S. and China over the future of Taiwan, Chinese state media has warned a "military showdown will come" and described the possible scenario as "a life-and-death struggle" between the nations.
The Global Times, which is published by the ruling Chinese Communist Party, shared the opinion article on Friday after U.S. military officials have increasingly warned about China's threat to Taiwan's autonomy. The editorial highlighted remarks from U.S. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, who expressed concern this past week about the "rapid expansion" of China's navy.
Taiwan, an island nation, is claimed by China under its "one country, two systems" constitutional principle. However, the democratically-run East Asian country has operated with autonomy and the support of the U.S. for decades. In recent years, analysts have increasingly warned that Beijing could move militarily to take control of the island by force.
"We need to make the US aware that no matter what threats it poses or forces it uses, China's reunification will eventually happen. Setting stumbling blocks to reunification across the Straits would mean a fundamental confrontation," The Global Times editorial cautioned.

Great. Rumours of war. Guess that had to come too.
Seems Beijing doesn’t want to let this go.
Since we’re not doing anything wrong, I guess the only thing we can do is be prepared to destroy China.
They’ve always been liars and bullies with their public statements, none of it makes any sense.
No matter what forces are placed against them, they will reunite with Taiwan. Really? Then what’s taking them so long?
Why would they let this go?
Weakness usually invites attacks.
Why would they let this go?
Weakness usually invites attacks.
And just how do you propose to do that?
We could make this a twofer by sending Liz Cheney to The Taiwan Strait on a battleship.
The “course” is if Taiwan doesn’t surrender unconditionally without a shot fired.
Strong letter to follow. 😆
With what, Pappy Kyle’s All Girl Band? Our military is a social engineering playground, not a fighting force. Our ships run into each other at sea, Our infantry in training in high heels and our air pilots are going to quit (20% of them) over Brandon’s fake vaccine mandates and the moldy old grandpa showers with his 11 year old daughter and shits his pants.
It is now or never for China—they can’t count on a dufus US government forever.
Yep. Seems they believe it’s a good time to be belligerent.
Seems like they’re on the verge of seizing an opportunity.
The silver lining of a possible war with China would mean an instant end to off shoring and trading with our enemy, the CCP. A good thing.
Be a real good time to get Taiwan to drop their high import tariffs on imported US goods.
Sun Tzu tactics scream “go now”.
I would guess there are screaming matches in the Politboro with factions trying to decide what to do.
Probably some members want to attack now while others are ok with giving up on Taiwan forever.
We sure do live in interesting times
A congressman and President Trump said the invasion will be after the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
That’s Dementia Joe and Milley following CCP orders and counting the traitor bribery cash flowing right there into their hidden offshore accounts.
Just after they do their usual surrendering they will get a bonus.
