China Warns of Military Action If Taiwan’s Independence Push Escalates
China’s military has declared its intention to tighten its grip on Taiwan should separatist movements on the island intensify, cautioning advocates of independence to retreat or face dire consequences, according to state media reports.
Beijing, which considers Taiwan a part of its territory, has not ruled out military intervention to assert control. Speaking on the matter, military spokesperson Wu Qian emphasized that increased separatist activities would lead to harsher countermeasures.
“The more aggressive ‘Taiwan independence’ advocates become, the tighter the noose around their necks and the sharper the sword hanging over them,” Wu stated, as reported by Xinhua. He further stressed that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) plays a decisive role in countering separatism and advancing reunification efforts.
Using a metaphorical warning, Wu likened the situation to a rider approaching a cliff, advising separatists to change course before reaching a point of no return.
Although Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te has repeatedly asserted that he does not seek formal independence, past statements—such as his 2017 self-identification as a “pragmatic worker for Taiwan independence”—have led Beijing to brand him a staunch separatist.
Wu’s remarks coincide with China’s annual “Two Sessions” political meetings, during which Beijing announced a 7.2% increase in defense spending for 2025, reflecting its ongoing military modernization efforts.
