China claims US will pay ‘unbearable cost’ for aiding Taiwan
Fox News
The Chinese communist government is claiming that the United States will pay an "unbearable cost" for its aiding of Taiwan -- the latest muscular rhetoric from Beijing over the U.S. policy toward the disputed territory.
Tensions have been rising between Taiwan, which China views as a breakaway province and as part of its own territory. The two countries split in 1949 and China has been increasing pressure on the self-ruled nation, while opposing its involvement in international organizations. The U.S. does not formally recognize Taiwan, but maintains an unofficial alliance and has adopted a policy of "strategic ambiguity."
