Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen defended her democracy over China's growing aggression, saying it would have catastrophic consequences if China took control of Taiwan.

Sai Ing-wen wrote an article in Foreign Ministry, saying the same thing. Recently, 38 Chinese fighter jets entered Taiwanese airspace while attacking. On Tuesday, Taiwanese Prime Minister Su Seung-chang stated China's aggression was a threat to regional peace and that Taiwan needed to be careful.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China sent 150 planes into Taiwan airspace since October started. It has been observed in the Chinese media as a means of control, but many states around the world have taken it as a show of fear and aggression from China.

Tsai Ing-wen wrote to the Foreign Minister, "We want peace, but Taiwan is ready to do whatever it takes for self-defence when our democracy and lifestyle are threatened."

Taiwan has called on countries around the world to understand China's greater threat. Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen said: "The world needs to understand that if Taiwan goes into the hands of China, it will be catastrophic for regional peace." It will also prove to be subversive to the democratic partnership.

At the same time, Taiwanese Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said that the military alliance with China and Taiwan is going into the most critical phase in the last 40 years. Taiwan's defence minister said China could attack Taiwan by 2025.

Chiu Kuo-cheng said, "China has the capability, but the war will not be that simple. Many other elements are required to be taken into attention as well.

China claims Taiwan as its territory and is determined to take control of it. China says that if force must be used to merge itself, it will be done. China regards the government of President Tsai Ing-wen in Taiwan as a separatist.

But Tsai Ing-wen says Taiwan is a sovereign country and does not need to be declared independent. She also says she doesn't want a battle.

Tsai Ing-wen wrote in her article, "Despite the daily occurrences of the PLA, our relationship with China has not changed. Taiwan will not succumb to pressure. No suffering can deter us. Even if it receives international support, it will do not happen.

Some countries around the world have identified Taiwan as an independent nation. Taiwan has unofficial alliances and agreements with many countries and remains a non-state party in international forums.
