The country’s military has issued a new threat as ongoing tensions surround Taiwan
China’s Eastern Theater Command has issued a strong warning to the country’s “enemies” amid ongoing tension over the potential visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
The officials released a video on Monday, as China marks the anniversary of its People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The video, featuring footage of various drills and military units, urges the solders to “stand by in battle formation, be ready to fight upon command, bury all invading enemies.”
The threat was further amplified by Yi Cao, a hawkish ‘wolf warrior’ Chinese diplomat, who posted the message on Twitter. The diplomat also reiterated the warning made last week by Beijing over Pelosi's rumored visit. “FM warns US again not to send Speaker Pelosi to Taiwan: Playing with fire will sure set yourself on fire!”the diplomat tweeted.
The hawkish rhetoric comes amid Pelosi's rumored impending visit to Taiwan, which has not been officially confirmed yet. According to the latest reports by local media outlets, the speaker may arrive to the island on Tuesday and hotel reservations for her and her crew have been already made.
