The tension between the two does not seem destined to end China e Taiwan. The speech of Xi Jinping al Communist Party congress had certified the will of the Chinese leader, in the medium term, to regain control of the island, which instead asks to be recognized as an independent state. On the Chinese side, the issue is not even remotely acceptable. Taiwan is considered an integral part of China and in Beijing they are also willing to move the armed forces if the need arises to repress a concrete attempt by the Taiwanese government to declare independence. The anti-secession law promulgated in 2005 under the presidency of Hu Jintao and the premiership of Wen Jiabao is very clear: the Chinese government may use "non-peaceful means" against the "Taiwan independence movement" if the Taipei government declares independence. A formal declaration is needed? According to Beijing's elastic interpretation it would seem to be unnecessary, as an operation that jeopardizes Chinese sovereignty over the area would be enough. In this sense, And important to remember the words of Li Kexin, who in Washington spoke of the arrival of an American ship as a gesture that would lead to the immediate invasion of the island by the Chinese armed forces.
Li Kexin's words were not the only ones in this sense, many analysts have spoken in recent months about the possibility that the People's Liberation Army could put an end to Taiwan's independence desires. And now they are growing Taiwan's concerns about the possibility of a Chinese attack. The president of the island, Tsai Ing-wen, in the course of an interview with the local broadcaster Set TV, last Monday, he said that “no one can exclude this possibility”. “When our government faces resistance and pressure from China”, Tsai added, “We will find a method to resist. This is very important". Tsai's words came in the context of a very interesting interview, in which the theme of the rearmament of the island was also touched upon. In particular, as reported by Agi, the point of the creation of submarines entirely built on the island. A gesture that Beijing would most likely consider the prelude to a turn towards autonomy. Tsai Ing-wen said this project “is still in its early stages”. A statement that evidently gave no guarantees to the Chinese government.
The interview with Tsai also touched on a new cause of friction between Beijing and Taiwan, or air routes. Last week, the island's government had protested to the Chinese central government over the opening of four new air corridors in the Taiwan Strait. The Chinese government's Taiwan Relations Office had responded to Taiwanese concerns. Ma Xiaouang, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office in the State Council, he declared that these routes do not involve any routes to the island or flights departing from Taiwanese airports. That said, he also reminded without too many compliments that the opening of this air corridor "does not require an agreement with Taiwan". The question for now, it remained anchored to a local reality. But it is known that i relations between the two governments are always of interest to the United States as well, who consider Taiwan a useful tool to undermine Chinese sovereignty in the Pacific. The US has formally accepted the "one China" policy for decades, ma, in fact, they maintain important relationships with the island, cresciute in questi anni in concomitanza con l’ascesa della Cina quale superpotenza che si oppone ala logica politica statunitense in Asia orientale. The United States considers it a priority to prevent China from expanding its control over the South China Sea and so also on the Western Pacific routes. To do it, may need Taiwan, but it must do so without triggering military reactions from China, which considers the island an integral part of the country. A hot situation That, in recent months, has again forcefully returned to occupy Beijing's political agenda and risks increasing the already important tensions between China and the USA.
