US will burn itself by playing fire with 'Taiwan card'

The People's Liberation Army's latest naval drills around Taiwan island have sent a powerful and timely message to the separatists on the island that any attempt to seek "Taiwan independence", and to the external forces trying to interfere in the Taiwan question that using cross-Taiwan Strait relations as a tool to contain the Chinese mainland, is doomed to failure.

The naval drills were held after the new Taiwan administrative head, Lai Ching-te, in his inauguration speech on May 20, indicated he stood for "Taiwan independence", and challenged the 1992 Consensus that there is only one China.

Lai's outrageous speech made it clear that he is a hardcore "worker for Taiwan independence".And the PLA's drills were held to warn Lai to stop daydreaming about "Taiwan independence".
