Taiwan warns ‘massive’ attack by China may be just a few years away

Chinese military forces are preparing for a “massive” attack on Taiwan in the coming years, according to the island democracy’s top diplomat.

“We don’t know when or how the Chinese may use military force against Taiwan, but from our own standpoint, we need to be prepared,” Taiwanese foreign minister Joseph Wu said in a newly published interview. “Considering that China may want to launch an attack a couple … or several years down the road in a more massive way, we need to procure more items from the United States.”
