Chief editor of Chinese state-owned Global Times said on Wednesday that Taiwan must be unified by force and veterans should force young people to fight on the frontlines.
“I must go to the [China-Taiwan] battlefield. As a veteran, I will rejoin the army when required,” Hu Xijin, chief editor of the tabloid answered a netizen on Chinese social media Weibo.
“I will catch you [the young male netizen] and send you to bomb the bunkers on the island as a member of the commando. If you dare to run away, I will shoot you from behind,” Hu added.
Taiwan faces Mainland China across the Taiwan Strait. The Chinese regime claims the island as its own, despite the fact that Taiwan is a de facto independent country, with its own military, democratically-elected government, and constitution.
In recent decades, Beijing authorities tried to unify Taiwan in a peaceful way, which it called “one country, two systems” that it also used in ruling Hong Kong and Macao. In the past months, the Chinese regime maintained the threat that it would unify the island nation by force.
As chief editor of a state-run media, Hu talks more aggressively on Taiwan topics recently.
“Don’t believe there’s a strait [that can protect you from China’s attack]. You have a military [to defend yourself], and the United States backs you under the ‘Taiwan Relations Act,’” posted on Chinese social media Weibo on Tuesday. “The [Taiwanese] Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities should be clear-headed.”
Hu then threatened Taiwan that the Chinese regime might use the way that it treated Hong Kong pro-democracy activists to treat Taiwanese if Taiwan takes further action.

Austria 1938.
The Chinese troops will be greeted with flowers.
And they say taiwan is also chinese.
I hope taiwan can take out 3 gorges.
Not necessarily for the civilians, but it will greatly damage if not destroy the ccp.
If Taiwan cannot, than the US will. And that would be a bad thing.
Taiwan people speak Mandarin because it was taken over by the chinese army who were kicked out of china by the communists in about 1953? Until then it was ruled by Japan and before that the Dutch.
Taiwan is much more formidable militarily than most realize.
Why?
Why should China spend blood and treasure to rule over Taiwan?
To save face? Get over yourselves.
For the women. And don’t laugh. Look at the demographics yourself.
I know their one child policy has given them a lot of bachelors.
We have a lot of women in this country.....Nancy Pelosi.....Hillary Clinton.....
Andrew Cuomo.
Maybe we could send them some mail-order brides.
>>If Taiwan cannot, than the US will. And that would be a bad thing.<<
The U.S. hits Chinese soil, be prepared to have our soil attacked as well.
The days of wars fought in far off lands is over.
That is a point I was trying to make the other day to a bunch of kids. The thought of a hypersonic missile hitting the Hoover Dam is unfathomable to them. If we step up, we are in it hip deep.
Same reason the US spent blood and treasure to rule over Cuba and the Philippines.
The call of empire is strong.
“ Why?
Why should China spend blood and treasure to rule over Taiwan?”
Because, as with pre WWII Germany, Fascism has its limits and it must expand or die.
It’s hard to fathom. Our country goes to war in far off lands like Syria, Afghanistan and we read sanitized reports of casualties and so forth.
Imagine the port of Houston with all it’s petro-chemical plants being set ablaze by incoming conventional missiles. EMP’s or saboteurs crippling infrastructure.
Once we travel down this road, America’s enemies worldwide will attempt to pile on us in an attempt to inflict as much damage as possible.
Folks should think of these things.
We rule over Cuba?
Great!
Let’s pull all of their murderers out of Venezuela.
