Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu criticized the Chinese government for pushing its political agenda amid the ongoing crisis and warned that China will likely push Taiwan after it takes away Hong Kong's autonomy.

Taiwan has been ruled separately from China since the end of a civil war in 1949.
But China considers it a part of its territory and has threatened to bring it to its fold even if that needs military intervention.
In 1979, the United States normalized diplomatic relations with the Beijing government under the Communist Party of China. Since then the relation between Taiwan–United States became unofficial and informal and is governed by the Taiwan Relations Act.

The Taiwan Relations Act is designed to maintain ambiguity and does not state if the USA will or will not intervene militarily if the PRC attacks or invades Taiwan. Under the act, the U.S is obligated to sell “arms of a defensive character” to Taiwan.

Beijing has stepped up diplomatic and military pressure on Taipei since the election in 2016. In the election, Tsai Ing-wen became president, whose Democratic Progressive Party refuses to acknowledge that Taiwan is part of “One China.”

Taiwan's economy and the defense budget is a fraction of China’s.
In purely military terms, it is hugely outnumbered in both men and material. But Taiwan has weapons and is also acquiring new once that can hold off China for a considerable duration and allow time for international diplomatic pressure to mount as well as provide scope for U.S military intervention.
