"Need not to happen": in the US assume that China can start a new war - a diplomat

According to the US official, the states will support Taiwan and his ability to defend themselves against external threats. US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said China's invasion of Taiwan is possible. She said this while meeting with American University students in Washington, Swissinfo writes. "I think the war is potentially possible because Xi Jinping is now completely controlled by China," Sherman said. According to her, the US should prevent it.

States are going to call China to refrain from this step, as well as to support Taiwan so that he has funds for defense. Beijing, who claims to Taiwan as to his territory, has never refused to use the force to take the island under control.

Journalists said that Sherman's comments were heard after two-day negotiations with the Secretary General of the European Foreign Relations Service Stefano Sannino on China and the Indo-Pacific region, during which they were concerned about Taiwan's provocations. In addition, Sherman said that protests in China against the world's most rigid restrictions on the Covid-19 subsided because they influenced. "They allow people to be quarantined in their homes, not in fever hospitals.

They say they are going to open step by step," Sherman said. The Republic of China or Taiwan is a partially recognized state. It was formed after the defeat of the Chinese Kuomintang from the Communist Party in the Civil War of 1945-1950. In 1971, the Republic of China lost a place in the UN, which was taken by the Communist Chinese People's Republic (mainland China). Taiwan is currently maintaining official diplomatic relations with 13 UN member states.
