Taiwan, which the country still considers part of its territory, is the foundation of the problem.
Chinese President, Xi, has quarreled with Donald Trump, pleading for him not to allow the Taiwanese President through US territory.
On top of this, the US revealed plans to send warships to Taiwan, angering Chinese officials even more.
GettyDiplomat Li Kexin, according to the Daily Star said:
The day that a US navy vessel arrives in Kaohsiung is the day that our People’s Liberation Army unite Taiwan with military force.
If the US navy dispatched warships to Taiwan it’d violate a Chinese law, which in turn would potentially start World War 3 and kill everyone. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Li added China would be getting around the issue peacefully but if all else failed, they’d have no hesitation in bringing in the boys to settle things military-style.
