Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in a statement to The Atlantic voiced his remarks regarding what he claimed to be a threat of Chinese invasion.

"If the [People's Liberation Army] wants to do something drastic, [Chinese President] Xi has to weigh the costs. He has to think twice," Tsai was quoted as saying to the former White House official by RT news.

Taiwan, however, anticipates that the western nations would finance its military in order to repel a hypothetical invasion by China. Tsai stated while speaking to RT television, "The Western countries, particularly the US, are helping Ukraine. What we see from the Ukraine war is Western countries get together and help Ukraine to fight."

US won’t contain China by exploiting Taiwan issue: Official

The chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China Li Zhanshu stressed, in September, that Washington will not be able to "contain" China by using tensions in the Taiwan Strait as a bargaining chip with Beijing.

Li made his remarks in Moscow on Friday at a meeting with the chairwoman of the Russian parliament’s upper chamber, the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko.

“Indeed, the Taiwan question concerns China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Now Taiwan is seeking independence with the help of the US. The US seeks to contain China through Taiwan. This won’t work,” the official said.

Li also highlighted the recent squabble in the US-China relationship over US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, which Beijing regards as an integral part of the country. 

The US administration "treacherously indulged" Pelosi with her "provocative trip," according to the official.

Beijing has reiterated on numerous occasions that the one-China principle was a political foundation of US-Sino relations, explaining that the US violated its own obligations and has been jeopardizing bilateral cooperation, as well as peace and stability in the region.
