Beijing - China said yesterday its military was capable of invading Taiwan, rejecting the view of Western military analysts that it will be at least five years before it can launch an invasion.
"The People's Liberation Army of China is fully capable and determined to maintain the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China," said Mr Zhu Bangzao of the Foreign Ministry. China views the island as a renegade province and has refused to give up the right to use force to take it back.
