China vows to ‘fight to the death’ and masses tanks on beaches for D-Day style invasion of Taiwan fuelling WW3 fears

August 03, 2022

CHINA has vowed to "fight to the death" as warships, tanks and fighter planes have been deployed amid fears war could explode over Taiwan. And should the trip go ahead she will be the most senior US politician to visit the island - something which will infuriate China. The closest point between China and Taiwan is the Kinmen Islands - which are around six miles east of Xiamen. Both China and Taiwan have been holding war games in the days ahead of the possible visit by Pelosi. China and Taiwan split after the Communists won a civil war on the mainland in 1949.
