In his meeting with Austin, Wei reiterated China's longstanding position that it was prepared to go to war if Taiwan declares independence from the mainland.
"Defense Minister Wei Fenghe emphasized that if anyone dares to separate Taiwan from China, the Chinese military will spare no effort to fight a war and shatter any 'Taiwan independence' attempts at any cost, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity," Wu Qian, a spokesperson for China's Defense Ministry said at a news conference following the meeting.
