Now, the US and the Taiwan authorities must explain. If it is true that the US has 30,000, or less than that number, soldiers stationed on the Taiwan island, Chinese military forces will immediately launch a war to eliminate and expel the US soldiers. pic.twitter.com/sZMrmIweM6

Newsweek: China State Media Issues War Warning After GOP Senator Tweets About Troops in Taiwan
The Global Times, a Chinese state-run media outlet, warned the United States that an "all-out war" would break out if it sent American troops to Taiwan after Senator John Cornyn mistakenly tweeted that there were 30,000 troops stationed on the island.
On Monday, Cornyn compared how many troops were in Afghanistan in recent months to those stationed elsewhere, including 30,000 he said were in Taiwan.
People were quick to point out that the number was incorrect and Cornyn deleted the tweet, but Chinese state media accused him of "testing" China with the claim.

This is just more saber rattling from China. China would most certainly know if there were 30k troops in Taiwan. You can't hide 30k troops and not have Chinese intelligence services become aware.
But China, being China, will most certainly not pass up an opportunity to have a go.
And our mildly retarded senator tweeted those numbers to begin with.ππ΅
I know many Chinese and know them well
One thing they got down is bullying ..
Never ever be in a weak position with a Chinese who doesn't like you.
There's something about Chinese that very few cultures have...a sense of joy in humiliating the weak or poor.... it's truly sick.. but they do it a lot
One of the reasons the vietnamese hate the Chinese is because of that.. because they do it to them constantly.. not just bullying, but even rubbing it in in a really sinister way, like true psychopaths
Public humiliation is what the Chinese go off on, they love doing that to others, bit hate it and fear it the other way around, ESPECIALLY the CCP
When you understand this, you know their Achilles heel: public and persistent humiliation
BUT.. they'll strike back with everything they have if you dare do it
