Taiwan’s foreign minister Joseph Wu has warned that China is “more likely” to make a move against the island in 2027. Wu says Chinese leader Xi Jinping may see aggression against Taiwan as a way to leave a legacy from his third term in office.
“To me, 2027 is the year that we need to watch out … because of the domestic power situation in China,” Wu said in an exclusive interview with Sky News on Jan. 18.“In 2027 Xi Jinping is likely to go into his fourth term. And if in his previous three terms, he cannot claim any achievement during his office, he might need to think about something else for him to claim as his achievement or his legacy,” he added.
