China has warned that it will take strong action against Taiwan if it moves towards independence. Beijing says tough action will be taken against Taipei if it crosses the Red Line.
Ma Xiaoguang, a spokeswoman for the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office, told a regular news briefing in Beijing on Wednesday that “if Taiwan’s separatist forces provoke independence, try to show strength or cross the Red Line, we will take strong action.”

The US government has increased its military spending by 5 percent. The United States will spend 60 billion on the military in 2022. President Joe Biden signed a bill Monday.
