UK summons Chinese ambassador over “aggressive behavior” on Taiwan

The UK Government has summoned the Chinese ambassador in London in view of “the increasingly aggressive behavior” of the Asian giant on Taiwan, an island that Beijing claims as its own and around which it has developed a series of unprecedented military maneuvers.

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who aspires to be the next prime minister in the Conservative Party primaries, has announced in a statement that her department will ask the ambassador to “explain” the latest Chinese moves.

Truss considers that the latest actions and statements of the Chinese government “threaten peace and stability” in the whole region, so she has called to resolve any possible differences by peaceful means, “without the threat or use of force.”

Precisely this Wednesday the Chinese Government has released a document in which it has again warned that it will not tolerate “separatist activities” in Taiwan and has insisted that it will use force to “take the island” if necessary.
