China warns Japan of 'crushing' military defeat over Taiwan intervention

China has issued a warning to Japan regarding potential military intervention in Taiwan, stating that such actions could lead to a "crushing" defeat for Japan. Chinese Defense Spokesman Jiang Binin made this statement, emphasizing that if Japan fails to learn from historical lessons and chooses to use force in the Taiwan issue, it would face severe consequences from the People"s Liberation Army.

"Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willed People"s Liberation Army and pay a heavy price," Jiang said.

This warning comes amid ongoing tensions in the region concerning Taiwan"s status and the potential for military conflict. The remarks reflect China"s firm stance on its territorial claims and its response to any perceived threats from neighboring countries.
