China warns of retaliation if US invades Taiwan
China is putting its foot down over American meddling in its affairs, and is warning of a military response to the stationing of US military forces at a covert embassy in Taiwan. China consider Taiwan to be Chinese, and hence, no embassy could legitimately exist there. For this reason, if the US positions military on Chinese soil without permission from the Chinese government, the Chinese government is declaring that it will view this as an invasion, and respond accordingly.
