Chinese state media chief calls for war with US over troop numbers in Taiwan
[AmericanMilitaryNews] Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of the Chinese state-run Global Times, tweeted a call for war after Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) (Now known as "The Pride of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence") mistakenly tweeted that there are 30,000 U.S. troops currently stationed in Taiwan. In a now-deleted tweet sent on Tuesday, Cornyn said, 'US Troops Today in: South Korea — 28,000; Germany — 35,486; Japan — 50,000; Taiwan — 30,000; Africa — 7,000; Afghanistan (month or 2 ago) — 2,500.' Responding to Cornyn’s post, Hu tweeted, 'Now, the US and the Taiwan authorities must explain. If it is true that the US has 30,000, or less than that number, soldiers stationed on the Taiwan island, Chinese military forces will immediately launch a war to eliminate and expel the US soldiers.' The Drums of War become louder. Related: John Cornyn: 2021-08-08 Senate likely to pass ‘Infrastructure’ Bill next week John Cornyn: 2021-04-13 Sen.
