On Wednesday (Aug. 18), Hu (the editor-in-chief of Chinese state-run tabloid the Global Times) observed that Cornyn (the US senator mistakenly suggesting the presence of a large number of U.S. troops in Taiwan on Tuesday) had deleted his controversial tweet and wrote that some claimed the senator had mistakenly cited troop numbers from the 1970s, before China and the U.S. had established diplomatic ties. However, Hu then implied that Cornyn's tweet had been meant to "test our response," and he closed by declaring: "My answer to him is war."

I lived in Taiwan for eight years. My wife was in the military. I'm familiar with Vietnam. General MacArthur said that the most difficult military assignment is to attack a well fortified mountainous tropical island. Taiwan is by far the most difficult place to attack, every single person has gone through military training, no one on that island wants the CCP to rule them, they are extremely well dug in and they are extremely well stocked with weapons. They also have Japan, S. Korea, the US, and Australia as close allies.
China is like a big dragon with a very delicate underbelly. That is their weakness. No one knows them better and no one knows their weakness better than Taiwan. Besides, God will fight for them.
