Chinese state-run media says 'PLA will heavily attack US troops who come to Taiwan's rescue'
China's state-run media on Thursday (Dec. 9) warned that Chinese forces would attack U.S. troops if they attempted to come to Taiwan's aid when the "reunification force" invades.
On Tuesday (Dec. 7), U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that his country would "take every action" to ensure that a scenario in which Russia and China simultaneously invade Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively, "never happens." In an editorial posted on Thursday, China's state-owned Global Times attempted to cast doubt about America's willingness to defend Taiwan in the event of an invasion by People's Liberation Army (PLA) forces.
The publication claimed that Sullivan's "boast" is not credible because the U.S. "simply cannot build a deterrent to prevent" China from "carrying out reunification by force." It said the U.S. does not have the "true will to defend Taiwan at all costs."
The editorial pointed out that the U.S. is mainly supporting the buildup of Taiwan's self-defense capabilities through the sale of weapons. However, it argued that these weapons "are generally destined to be destroyed by the People's Liberation Army" as soon as the "reunification force" makes its move.
The author then warned, "It is credible that the PLA will heavily attack US troops who come to Taiwan's rescue." Believing that China is achieving a military advantage in the region, the article said PLA capabilities are "increasingly overwhelming the deterrence that U.S. troops may have."

I don’t think China has anything to worry about with this wimp in the White House and the Dems having both chambers.
Oh my! an overt declaration of war!
Am convinced that Xi Jin-Pooh and his ChiCom flying monkeys already have selected an invasion date, likely within 30-60 days after the phony Peking olympics.
I’d personally go and take my weapons with me if Taiwan would let me fight for them. Having spent a lot of time in Taiwan I love the country.
They will have awakened a sleeping elf!
XI AND JOE....(BFF, as long as the checks to the Biden family clear)
Didn’t we pretty much know, it wasn’t a matter of “if,” but a matter of “when?”
So true,unfortunately.😞
Ok... I am being serious here.. why the HELL does China need Taiwan? or Russia need Ukraine? Both are fine how they are, they gain nothing from war but dead bodies.
Can’t we just nuke the commie boosters and be done with this nonsense?
Bankrupt dictators are thief’s.
More Chinese bluster.
The CCP feels existentially threatened by the example of Chinese people living in freedom. The idea might take root that Chinese people do not need an all-powerful party, a kleptocratic elite and the god king emperor Xi.
The Chinese, as with muslims(SPIT!) are in it for the “long game” and can wait out us and our allies.
maybe, I just dont get it. It would be like us invading Canada.
Why?
We are fine, we don’t need it. It really has nothing we need, it’s far better to sell and trade with them and stay friendly with the rest of the world.
China would never have dared to make that remark with any other president besides Biden. They know he’s just a wet Dustmop of a president.
China simply claims Taiwan is part of China...so what would be the point. As for Ukraine...I can hear Putin..."I need another piece of Ukraine why?".
As far as Crimea...it should have never been "given" away in the first place.
