China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory
BEIJING/TAIPEI - China 's military on Thursday vowed to defeat all attempts at secessionism and urged the United States not to send the wrong signals on Taiwan independence, ahead of a trip by Taiwan 's President Lai Ching-te to Hawaii as part of a Pacific tour.
Asked at a monthly news briefing in Beijing about Lai's visit to Hawaii and whether there could be a military response from China, Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson Wu Qian said the United States should refrain from sending any wrong signals to the forces of "Taiwan independence". "In the face of changes in the enemy situation, we will continue to enhance defence resilience through various practical training to anticipate potential threats and challenges and ensure air defence security," the command said.Reuters correspondents in the northern Taipei suburbs reported seeing and hearing fighter jets in the skies as dawn broke.
Taiwan presidents typically make use of what are officially only stopovers in the United States to meet friendly US politicians and give speeches as part of visits to far-flung allies in the Pacific, Latin America or the Caribbean.
