China’s Xi Jinping says ’reunification’ with Taiwan ’inevitable’ in strong tone New Year address
China’s “reunification“ with Taiwan is inevitable, President Xi Jinping said in his New Year’s address on December 31st, striking a stronger tone than he did last year.
Last year, Xi said only that people on either side of the strait are “members of one and the same family“ and that he hoped people on both sides will work together to “jointly foster lasting prosperity of the Chinese nation.“
China considers Taiwan to be its “sacred territory“ and has never renounced the use of force to bring it under Chinese control, though Xi made no mention of military threats in his speech carried on state television.
