Taiwan warns China will pay heavy price for invasion
President Tsai Ing-wen on Tuesday warned that China would pay a heavy price for invading or trying to invade Taiwan.
She also stated that the international community would condemn it.
“A heavy price will be paid for invading Taiwan or attempting to invade Taiwan, and it will be strongly condemned by the international community,” Ms Tsai told military officers in comments released by her office.
China has always claimed Taiwan belongs to it.
“What we have to do is to let the enemy understand that Taiwan has the determination and preparation to defend the country, as well as the ability to defend itself,” she said.
