Trump threatens to destroy Chinese Navy if China moves on Taiwan
Original: BREKING NEWS: Donald Trump : "If China touches Taiwan, we will completely wipe out the Chinese Navy and cripple Beijing’
Statements attributed to Donald Trump are circulating widely, in which he warns that if China touches Taiwan the United States would wipe out the Chinese Navy and cripple Beijing's economy within 24 hours. A purported response from Xi Jinping claims Taiwan belongs to China and threatens hypersonic missile strikes on the US if Washington intervenes. The exchange is drawing heavy attention and debate over US-China tensions and the risk of escalation over Taiwan.
Why now: Rising US-China tensions over Taiwan make any forceful rhetoric from either leadership highly contentious and newsworthy.
