Asked what kind of measures the PLA might take, Zhao said: "if she dares to go, then let us wait and see.” During a phone call last Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden that Washington should abide by the one-China principle and "those who play with fire will perish by it".
