Row Heading 1
Are we facing a 3rd World War?
Talmazan, Yuliya. “Taiwan Will Not Bow to China Pressure, President Says after Beijing
Reunification Call.” NBCNews.com, NBCUniversal News Group, 10 Oct. 2021,

after-beijing-n1281178.
According to Talmazan, the tension between China and Taiwan are getting
worse. Beijing is putting a lot of pressure towards Taiwan, but Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen,
won’t let that happen. This was the Presidents statement after China vowed for a reunification
with their counterpart since 1949. Following the speech to celebrate Taiwan’s National Day a
parade of Taiwan’s defensives was shown to make this statement even stronger. Taiwan will
continue to bolster their defenses, still with the hope that this conflict between these countries
will decrease and return to a normal state. China’s point of view is very different. They rejected
the statements of Taiwan’s President, saying that Taiwan is still a part of China and it is
important connect back to the “Motherland.”
I think it is a very risky and scary subject that is not really taking a good path at all. Since
it is Capitalism vs. Communism, a lot of Nations will get involved if this tension between China
and Taiwan will go overboard. Looking back at history, if we analyze how World Wars started, I
can clearly see similarities and that makes me feel very uncomfortable, because I know America
is already having conflicts with Bejing. Since experts say that China will become the most
powerful Nation in the world, it is very unpredictable how this situation will continue to develop.
Taiwan could be to trigger to a probable 3. World War.
