The Chinese Communist Party publication said tensions could lead to 'a life-and-death struggle' forcing the U.S. to sacrifice 'the lives of Americans.'
"Any move to block China's reunification is doomed to result in a life-and-death struggle, which the US will have to fight while sacrificing the lives of Americans," the Chinese tabloid warned."The struggle is definitely not something that can be resolved by pouring more money or imposing sanctions."
In conclusion, the opinion article asserted that"if the U.S. keeps encouraging Taiwan authorities to go their own way, a military showdown will come eventually. When that day comes, let a knock-down, drag-out fight decide everything." The article comes as China announced on Friday that it will hold those promoting"Taiwan independence" criminally liable for life. That punishment would extend to many officials and leaders who currently govern Taiwan.
China's Taiwan Affairs Office specifically named Taiwan Premier Su Tseng-chang, Parliament Speaker You Si-kun, and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu as being"stubbornly pro-Taiwan independence." The Taiwanese leaders will be blacklisted from entering mainland China, and the administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao.
"It is believed if a war breaks out, he must be one of the first 'elites' on the island to flee Taiwan and head toward the US or another Western country. People like him would have already made plans for their escape long, long ago," the publication's top editor, Hu Xijin, wrote.
