“Under the current circumstances, it would be more appropriate to describe the cross-Straits relations as 'hostile' rather than in a state of 'quasi-war'. Only when the mainland has no other options but to impose economic sanctions and blockade Taiwan, can we say that the situation is one of 'quasi-war'. Whether there will be a 'quasi-war' or a real war depends on what provocations the Taiwan authorities and the US make. For instance, if the US military trains Taiwan's armed forces, or the US sends its warplanes to fly over the island of Taiwan, the mainland is bound to counter-act.”
