America has always attempted to create tension in the South Asian Block by giving more importance to Taiwan. Taiwan is considered to be a part of China by Chinese Government.
Recently the Taiwan President announced on the German radio in his interview that Taiwan is a separate’ nation and it should be given recognition in that way. This ^turned the Chinese attitude quickly turned offensive.
American favour to Taiwan, as always is the case, created same confrontation as was the situation in 1996. Chinese president announced that Taiwan is only a part of China and it can never be considered as a separately country.
China warned America of using its Armed forces it continues to interfere in this matter.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
USA had to take some active measures to defuse this tension. It ashed Taiwan to remove forces from border and sea. It stopped giving statements having effect to encourage Taiwan to revolt against China. The USA in APEC conference expressly accepted Taiwan as a part of China and suggested to solve these political disputes by mutual agreements.
