US President Donald Trump on Friday claimed that Chinese President Xi Jinping assured him that China would not attack Taiwan as long as he is President. Trump gave this statement in an interview to Fox News. This claim has come at a time when tension between China and Taiwan remains constant.

Trump’s statement
Trump said in the interview, “President Xi told me that as long as you are President, I will never do this. I told him, ‘I appreciate it.’ But he also said that he is very patient and China is also very patient. ” Trump further said that he is confident that there is no possibility of attacking Taiwan during his tenure.

Trump-shee conversation
The first confirmation of Trump’s second presidential tenure between Trump and Xi Jinping took place in June. Even in April, Trump had said that Xi had called him, but he did not clarify when the conversation took place.

China’s stance and Taiwan’s objection
China considers Taiwan as its part and has repeatedly said that it will “re-integrate” this island under any circumstances, for this, force will also be used if needed. On the other hand, Taiwan strongly opposes China’s claim of sovereignty and considers itself an independent democratic rule.

America and Taiwan relations
Although the US is Taiwan’s largest international supporter and main supplier of weapons, there is no formal diplomatic relations between the two countries. China has always objected to this role of America.

Chinese Embassy response
The Chinese Embassy in Washington said on Friday that Taiwan’s issue is the most important and sensitive subject of China-America relations. Embassy spokesman Liu Pengu said in a statement, “The US government should follow one-China policy and three joint releases of China-America. Careful matters related to Taiwan should be handled carefully and maintaining peace and stability in China-America relations and Taiwan Strait.”

China and taiwan: The Chinese army started the second day of military exercise around Taiwan on Wednesday. This exercise was first named a code-‘Strategic Thunder-2025 A’. China says that this practice focuses on Taiwan’s blockade and strengthening the ability to carry out accurate attacks.

The military exercise happened after China’s sharp comments against Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-Tee, in which China called him a “parasite”. In addition, it took place soon after the US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s visit to Asia, where he criticized Beijing several times.

China considers Taiwan its part

China considers Taiwan as its part and the President has been calling Lai Ching-Te ” separatist ‘. However, Lai, who has recently become the President of Taiwan, rejects this claim of Beijing. He says that only the people of Taiwan can decide the future of Taiwan.

According to China’s Eastern Theater Command, this military exercise is taking place in the middle and southern regions of Taiwan. Some islands in Taiwan are very close to China. This exercise is being done to control the area control, joint blockade and exact attacks on major goals. It is paying attention to military operations like identity, warning, expulsion and interception.

‘More than 10 Chinese warships seen’

According to the Reuters report, a senior Taiwan security officer said that more than 10 Chinese warships were seen in Taiwan’s response area. At the same time, China’s coastist force was also involved in this military exercise. China did not give any official name to Tuesday’s practice. Last year, China conducted two major military exercises around Taiwan, named “United Talwar-2024 A” and “United Talwar-2024 B”.

America condemned

The United States, which is Taiwan’s largest international supporter and main weapon supplier, has strongly condemned this military exercise of China. The US State Department said in a statement that China’s aggressive military activities and rhetoric towards Taiwan only increase stress and endangered regional security and global stability.
