China’s Warning to Taiwan: “We Will Get You, Sooner or Later”
Tensions are heating up once again between China and Taiwan. In a bold and aggressive statement, China’s Ministry of Defense has issued a stark warning to Taiwan, declaring, “We will get you, sooner or later.” This comes after Taiwan announced an expansion of its annual Han Kuang military exercises—live-fire drills designed to strengthen its defenses against a potential Chinese attack.
The Chinese defense ministry’s spokesperson, Wu Qian, made this statement during a press conference, accusing Taiwan’s government of miscalculating the political and military situation. Wu described Taiwan’s actions as “holding back the tide with a broom” —suggesting that resisting China’s growing military power is both futile and dangerous. This rhetoric marks yet another escalation in Beijing’s long-standing efforts to assert its claim over Taiwan, an island it considers a breakaway province.

Interestingly, Wu’s words have gained traction on Chinese social media due to their similarity to a famous line from Ne Zha 2 , a record-breaking Chinese animated film. In the movie, the protagonist warns a groundhog, saying, “I will come back and get you.” This unexpected pop culture reference has fueled nationalist sentiments in China, where the film has been celebrated as a symbol of the country’s rising influence.
Taiwan, however, is not backing down. Its defense ministry responded firmly, calling China the “biggest troublemaker” in the international community. Taiwan’s government also reminded the world that history has repeatedly shown how acts of aggression and expansionist policies often end in failure.
Despite China’s growing military power and its continued modernization efforts, Taiwan has been working to strengthen its defenses. However, the island remains significantly outgunned. Traditionally, Taiwan has relied on support from the United States, but with Donald Trump back in office, uncertainty looms over America’s commitment. Unlike his predecessor Joe Biden—who had explicitly stated that the U.S. would defend Taiwan—Trump has refused to clarify whether the U.S. would intervene in the event of a Chinese attack.
This uncertainty has raised concerns in Taipei, especially as China continues to ramp up military drills and aggressive rhetoric. With tensions escalating, the question remains: How far is Beijing willing to go to achieve its goal of unification? And will Taiwan be able to resist, with or without international support?
