#China says Taiwan government risking "dangerous war" China’s defence ministry on Thursday accused Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party of pushing the island toward a “dangerous situation of war” at an “accelerated” pace, after reports that Taipei planned to buy military drones. Chinese Ministry of Defence spokesman Wu Qian said Thursday the DPP was “pushing Taiwan into a dangerous situation of war and violence at an accelerated pace”, in response to reports this month that Taipei was budgeting to buy thousands of military drones in the next four years.
