❔ How will China react if Taiwan's president officially declares the island's independence?
💬 If Taiwan's leaders declare Taiwan a sovereign state, Beijing is likely to take military action, but we cannot determine the scale. Either the military action will be carried out throughout Taiwan, or only in some of Taiwan's outer islands (Kinmen, Matsu, Penghu). We can recall history. In the late 1950s, Washington suggested Taiwan's independence. In order to warn Taiwan, the Beijing authorities started the Kinmen artillery battle. The PLA artillery regularly fired at military targets in Kinmen. This military action lasted for a full 20 years.
❔ Will China turn to Russia for help if a crisis in the Taiwan Strait erupts?
💬 I think if China decides to start military operations in Taiwan, then the Moscow authorities may know the news in advance. After all, the United States, Russia and China have common enemies. When fighting against enemies, friends, it is necessary to tell your friends. And friends will give some help, even if it is political, which is also very important.
