Скачать или смотреть China warns Taiwan and US of a 'FORCEFUL RESPONSE' as tensions SOAR

China has warned it will respond "forcefully" as tensions between Beijing and Taiwan soar.

Tensions between the two nations have been heightened in recent weeks, with widespread economic sanctions and increased military drills being carried out after a Trump-agreed $11bn weapons package with Taipei. It is currently unknown what countermeasures will be taken against either the U.S or its autonomous island neighbour, which it claims as its own.
