The opposing views of the two countries on Taiwan cause tensions to increase day by day. The starting point of the events is seen as the US arms sale to Taiwan in June. After this arms sale, China showed its first reaction against the USA and made certain flights within Taiwan's air borders. After these flights, some statements came from the USA that China should recognize Taiwan's independence. These statements were met with heavy reactions by China, and Chinese President Xi promised that Taiwan is his territory and that he will add these lands to China again in the near future.
