Taiwan Taunts China Back After Receiving "Death Threats"
Taiwan's official spokesperson on September 21 replied to China's threats by asking how to deal with a neighbor (China) that gives "death threats" for having dinner with a friend (USA)? China had carried out military drills as a sign of protest against a senior US official's visit to Taiwan. China's state-sponsored Global Times reported that "war will be set off" following Taiwan's pledge to have a strong friendship with the US.
