China has yet to confirm whether a plane crash even happened in the first place, let alone the cause of it.

Tensions between China and Taiwan have soured rapidly in recent months with the autonomous island warning the Chinese airforce has repeatedly violated its airspace.

Located off China's coast, Taiwan is seen as part of the mainland, with the Communist Party vowing to one day reclaim the island.
In order to protect its independence, the US has a defence treaty with the island whereby it well sell arms to the Taiwanese military.
In July, the US State Department approved a surface to air missile deal with Taiwan.
The package will be an upgrade on the current Patriot surface-to-air missile system currently used.

A Czech delegation travelled to the island on Sunday causing China's foreign Wang Yi to label the trip as a deliberate provocation.
He also claimed the state should "pay a high price for his shortsighted behaviour".
This was later rebuked during a press conference between Wang and his German counterpart, Heiko Mass.
Mr Mass said: "Threats have no place here.

The ministry said: "Do not treat lightly our resolve to defend Taiwan.
"The most arrogant country can easily provoke a war, and the most ignorant government can be caught in the flames of war.
“In the end it will have the opposite effect, inciting the wrath and antipathy of Taiwan's people, seriously hurting peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait."

• Twitter footage shows thick smoke billowing from a burning wrecked plane
• Accounts claimed it was Chinese Su-35 fighter jet that fell in southern China
• Web users also said the aircraft was shot down by Taiwan's air defence system

Taiwanese officials have denied that it shot down a Chinese Su-35 fighter jet after social media footage of the wreckage of a plane burning near a building emerged.

Footage circulated on Twitter shows the wreckage engulfed in flames and thick smoke. Several online accounts claimed that it was a Sukhoi Su-35 fighter plane that fell down in the city of Guilin in southern Chinese province Guangxi.

The military jet was claimed to have been shot down by Taiwan after it intruded into the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, according to the accounts.

If confirmed World War III

It will be brief, and China will be liberated from those commie thugs.

Expect changes on the world map.

The PRC is a paper tiger which sincerely believes the propaganda it spews out.

 

[Peiweh]

WOW! If Taiwan shot down a PRC plane with America missiles shows you who is King once again. And Again.

 

[Loofydralb]

Paper tiger China is in a bind.

Taiwan has denied. They probably did shoot the plane out of the sky but they've figured China will be too embarrassed to admit their hi tech jet was shot down. After all, they know they are not ready for war. Thus the silence from small-dick China.

Next China will come out story how their russian engines failed. Mind you, the Su-35 has 2 engines and designed purposely for 1 engine failure. Both engine failed? Isn't that embarrassing too? Not as much as being shot down.

 

[glockman]

If Taiwan really shot down the plane, it only proves two things. China has lousy pilots and planes. Taiwan's military might and resolve are real.

i suspect this taiwan mp knew something going to happen soon ....as he hinted here to the public...

 

[eatshitndie]

truth is pla copycat soviet planes cannot last 6.9 years of constant flying over scs.

 

[apophylliso]

i worried the pro ccp spies agents in sg will do sabotage on usa navy fleet here.

 

[Asterix]

Guilin is as quite far away from the Taiwan Straits. Unlikely to have been shot down by Taiwanese missile.

 

[glockman]

Please lah, ccp is all bark no bite. They are so detached from reality, they will pay a heavy price. Just because they managed to fool the world into helping them become economically prosperous does not mean they can take on the world militarily. They will lose.
