China and its military intentions have been in focus yet again. This is owing to an article by a media group in china that has been creating buzz online .So what are china‘s intentions and is there any truth in the same .let us understand.
Twenty Chinese military aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone in the largest incursion yet reported by the island’s defence ministry and marking a dramatic escalation of tension across the Taiwan Strait. For the last 10 days now Chinese airplanes have been observed making rounds starting 5th September.About 19 jets were spotted in taiwan southwestern areas.
So what do these incursions mean for the countries?
China has been at loggerheads with the tiny island of Taiwan, and other neighbors, including India, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam and others over territorial disputes for a long time. Sohu is a Beijing-based online media, search engine, and game service company that has promoted Chinese government propaganda for years. The tech company was the official internet sponsor of for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
Sohu published this article eight years ago which had mentioned 6 “inevitable” wars China might engage in between 2020 and 2050. The article mentions 6 territories that china might eye in the coming years.
Lets talk about them in detail. the first territory that has been gathering attention for china ‘s attempts is TAIWAN.
1. Taiwan
China, during the Qing Dynasty, gave up the island of Taiwan, including Penghu, to Japan at the end of the First Sino-Japanese War by signing the Treaty of shimoneski Japanese troops in Taiwan surrendered to the Republic of China at end of the second WORLD WAR , putting Taiwan under a Chinese government again after 50 years of Japanese rule. Taiwan ,Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and some other minor islands effectively make up the jurisdiction of the state with the official name of the republic of china commonly known as "Taiwan".
The article said China must send an ultimatum to Taiwan by 2020 to choose peaceful unification or war. The likely case, the author wrote, would be a full-scale war with Taiwan. Sources also believe Without the US or Japan’s intervention, winning this war would be a 3-month ordeal for china.
2 While the efforts for seizing Taiwan have already started the next territory which needs to be at guard is SOUTH CHINA SEA
The article believed China will send yet another ultimatum to the countries surrounding the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. The “news” article considered a deadline of 2028 appropriate for this ultimatum. After that, the country will go on reclaiming these islands. China has made various claims over the sea—and the sea’s estimated As early as the 1970s, countries began to claim islands and various zones in the South China Sea, such as the Spratly Islands, for their rich natural resources and fishing areas. In recent years, satellite images have observed China’s increased efforts to reclaim land in the South China Sea by physically increasing the size of islands or creating new islands altogether. In addition to piling sand onto existing reefs, China has constructed ports, military installations, and airstrips.
3. The next territory is a little more closer because it talks aboutSOUTHERN TIBET
Southern Tibet, a term Beijing uses to denote India’s Arunachal Pradesh that shares a border with Tibet. The article presents an analysis of potential military dealings that India would have with China’s adversaries like the US and Europe. It suggests that the most efficient strategy would be to incite the disintegration of India – the country that has to date survived all its secessionist movements since its independence. But if that doesn’t work, the second-best option is to incite India-Pakistan’s fight over Kashmir, and take over Southern Tibet while India is distracted.
4. Lets now talk about the conquest of SENAKAKU ISLANDS
The next territory that china might wage a war on is the Senkaku and Okinawa islands that Japan controls and China claims. Between 2040 and 2045, the article implies, would be a good time for some more reconquesting.
