China's military drills: A warning for Taiwan's new president? | DW News 

its a blockade, blockades are an act of war.

With their toy guns???? Apuuuuu😅😅😅

Taiwan is Taiwan

You see! This is the best authoritarian governments can do! Threatening a peaceful, independent people who only want to live and face the daily struggles of life that all people have to deal with. But these cruel misguided beset ones only function on distraction to deflect attention from their own failed, unsustainable policies instead of changing, learning and developing.

China all talks

I like William’s rational and calm attitude.

I'm impressed DW consulted a kid.

We hope that international friends will read the Cairo Declaration, the Bostan Proclamation and United Nations Resolution 2758 before commenting on the Taiwan incident. This is the basis for a discussion topic!

Glad to hear people there are doing well living normal lives

Taiwan belongs to Philippines 🇵🇭

Putin taught his dog well.

Miscalculation by China will be extremely messy & will cost lives on the mainland.

Winnie Xitler should visit the Disneyland sometimes!! I can GUARANTEE you 100% he will be very happy seeing a show starting himself!!! 🤣🤣🤣.

West Taiwan acting like a jealous teenager again.

You're seriously claiming that nobody thought a mainland would use a naval blockade against an island? That's what you're going with?

Taiwan will stay free

Taiwan 🇹🇼 is free! Obviously want to stay free!

Punishment? He hasn't feel the pain. Same as voters. Nothing happens. No economic sanctions, nothing . Lie is not afraid. Just talks only. The world is watching.

😢😢

Where did the president come from in Taiwan Province Province? Sealed it yourself? Or was it chosen by Germany?

just read un‘s files no.2758

I think Chinese army is very strong and organised army in the world 🌎

Excuse for military practice makes perfect.

It’s cool that DW is engaging with teenage gamers to discuss world geopolitical affairs 😂

The Chinese people's internal conflict, an unresolved historical issue from 1945-what right do you have to butt in? What qualifications do you have to comment? If Japan or the United States occupied an island right at your doorstep, I'd comment on it too. How would you feel if you were not allowed to manage an island occupied by Japan or the United States?

Germany,Japan, as a defeated country, should not criticize the post-WWII order. It must return the territories it took from China, including Taiwan, as stated in the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation. This is important for maintaining peace and stability in the region.

Hiana exposing weak democratic system.

Of cos.. xijing ping is a power leader.. this taiwan new president can win xijing ping..

Гораздо дешевле и БЕЗОПАСНЕЙ ДЛЯ ЗАПАДНЫХ СОЮЗНИКОВ УНИЧТОЖИТЬ ВСЕ ВОЕННЫЕ ОБЬЕКТЫ РФ на ТЕРРИТОРИИ УКРАИНЫ чем потом ввязаться в битву за Тайвань и Корею! Показать решительность и снизить напряженность! А отсутствие решимости дает повод для эскалаций по всему миру и масштаб беды и финансовых потерь будет совершенно иной! Хотя можно было этого всего избежать полным отказом товаров и сырья из РФ и от товаров произведенных третьими странами из сырья РФ! Полная финансовая блокада РФ дола бы четкий сигнал всем агрессорам в мире!

He must be staying up late preparing for school exams...

Taiwan should ignore United states whispering campaign.

People must know the fact that China is still officially in a state of civil war originally led by two conflicting political forces, KMT and CPC. The civil war broke out on the mainland of China right after the end of World War II or the surrendering of Japanese farces in China. The result of the civil war is that KMT forces were defeated and fled to the island of Taiwan, protected by the US navy for decades. This situation remains unchanged till today. Now, the ruling party of the island of Taiwan has been doing everything they can to try to deny the identity of the island of Taiwan being a part of China, a fact that has been so for centuries, and to declare independence. This is obviously illegal, and intolerable and unacceptable to mainland China, which is entitled to conquer the island of Taiwan with whatever means including military forces. If a war broke out across the Taiwan strait, it is essentially the on-going civil war. Nothing new.

Believe me, if Taiwan's military capability is much better than that of the mainland, they will never give up their status as China.

It's not China....it's west Taiwan

One China policy is very clear

China wants respect from the rest of the world and yet they use this type of aggression, could you imagine if the West held military exercises right along the entire Chinese mainland coast. I don't think China would be happy at all. Respect is earned and comes from respecting others, not from trying to be the bully.

How a toddler is reporting news

William looks 8 years old

WARNING WARNING WARNING NEVER ENDINGGGGGGG

Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, all these countries are pressured by the US. Yet no one complains, Taiwan is subjected to the same as it antagonises a more powerful country like China

Free Tibet and the urghurs

Lots of Chinese and Russian bots here in the comments (edited: 2 bots already biting the bait in less than 1 minute of the original post).

Recognize Taiwan to Stop Chinese fantasies. Honestly normalize the status quo is the best strategy.

What warning ???? Can you hear and read ??? They had already told you - " it is punishment". Period.

NATO have right to defend the Taiwan. NATO need to send all troops to defend the Taiwan & Ukrain.

This DPP government is much weaker than previous, only 40% support vs 60% reject and lost majority seats in parliament ... A lame duck. 😢

I just love Taiwan Analyst, according to their news, the US would love to see an escalation in the region because 1. It's an election year 2. now it gives more reason to sanction or contain China. Russia would like to see an cross-strait escalation, because of the Ukraine war so it will drag this on further. The Taiwanese DPP would like to take a gamble (i.e. being provocative by ridding the ambiguous language), so if nothing happens in the coming four years (election cycle), it will show that they've made progress. (Ofc they also have the US's greenlight to give that kind of speech)

Who will like war

That KID named William is a JOURNALIST?! wow....

Looks like a spelling bee champion.

I like this woman 👩

William has issues holding poop in for too long

Did the Taiwanese Aircraft have to scramble? is that the special right word?

Williams looks like a 8 year old 😅

at least they are more honest then nato and there allies

I dont think so that china wil invade taiwan😂😂puro flex muscle lng😂😂

Yawn! I doubt Taiwanese people lose sleep over it🤣

作为中国人，我支持台湾！❤

Sorry but I thought it was a 16yr old boy👀

A LOT of CCP bots in this chat looking to get that +1000 on their social credit score lol.

It's a progression towards total disruption of all traffic by sea and air around Taiwan. Commercial traffic will be high risk to transact to and from Taiwan. Secondary, China is calling US real commitment to Taiwan. Will US send 6 aircraft carrier groups to surround Taiwan or back off.

Like Russia ,military drills then turned into special military operations

Chinese drama

Uncle Sam and his lackeys shouldn’t interfere in the region if they don’t want to be punished. The PLA ain’t messing around anymore.

0:41 The drill is a warning to Taiwan's new president when the US fails to shore up support to support Taiwan.

Chinesse Sepretist panilist declare independence on Aljazeera.

When did DW start hiring kid pakistan

an kid from indian talking about china...

If germany does military drill in east germany, is there anything wrong?

So the Gen Z is consulting to a major west media on a serious geopolitical issue ? Maybe you should ask a cat about the future of the mankind.

It's not a warning for Taiwan. It's a message to the US not to make the same mistake as they did with Ukraine.

Is the new Taiwan president about to become Zelensky 2.0?

as once divided Country, do Germany remember the pain of separation?

He wants to be the next Zelenzky

Remember 1995 China aggression against rogue island Taiwan immediately USA sent two carriers into Taiwan straits now USA carrier is 10,000 km away 😮

Maybe the Taiwan president is Comedy president? Like a Zelensky president of Ukraine?

Ukraine 2.0 blessing from warmonger US

Not only that, but *more* *than* *a* *hundred* *Chinese* *celebrities* have posted on Weibo (Chinese twitter) that “China will definitely achieve ultimate unification, and Taiwan will definitely return to the embrace of the motherland", *including* *dozens* *of* *Taiwanese* *celebrities* , including the well-known Ouyang Nana, Michelle Chen, Angela Chang and others post the same thing.

Go read the one China is policy first.!

Before, during and after Taiwan's reunification with China, people's lives in the island remain normal and peaceful, and the stock market in Taipei just keeps rising.

I hope they US doesn't make Taiwan end up like Ukraine!

An old Irish proverb: “If two neighbors are fighting, it means that one of them was visited by an Englishman the day before.”

China 🇨🇳 has every right to defend their province 💪 in the South China Sea ⛵

One China!

Long life People's Republic of China.

Taiwan always a part/province of mainland China.. even the USA sign a deal that says it clearly.. so china has right to do..

taiwan needs to learn from mishaps in ukraine the consequences of furthering western interests😂

come on CHINA AND RUSSIA, new it is the END of western hegemoney

Long live PLA people's liberation army. Pla duty is Protect the chinese sovereignty

So every province in your country got its own president? Taiwan is just a small rebellious province of China. They were defeated in the civil war and still wanted to be a sovereign country and yet again failed. Taiwan is such a loser region. How can you lose the game but win the prize at the same time? It would be much less controversial without the intervention from the US. What have you done in your civil war? Have you let the defeated southerners set up their own country?

yeah， a kids knows everything.
