American expert: In the spring of 2024, China will try to seize Taiwan
31
One of the main international problems continues to be the situation around Taiwan, which, against the backdrop of events around Ukraine and the Middle East, has so far been relegated to the background.
According to American military expert Erik Prince, who is the founder of the American PMC Blackwater, as early as the spring of this year, Beijing may try to solve the Taiwan problem by military means.
In an interview with British news channel GB News, Prince said the following:
If they (China) are going to take Taiwan by force, I would predict that they will do it in the spring
The founder of the Blackwater PMC explains his assumptions by saying that the most acceptable weather conditions in this region will be in May or June. The rest of the year it is too windy there, the expert noted.
The Taiwan problem arose after the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, when remnants of anti-communist forces took refuge on the island. Beijing considers the island an integral part of China. However, the United States comes out in support of Taiwan.
According to some experts, Beijing may decide to seize Taiwan by taking advantage of the fact that the United States will hold presidential elections in 2024, and Washington will be busy with internal affairs.
