China must fully “reunify” with Taiwan – Xi Jinping

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has said that the full “reunification” of Taiwan with the PRC is inevitable, and has promised to achieve this peacefully.

This was reported by Reuters, citing a speech by Xi Jinping on November 12 in Beijing.

The Chinese leader called resolving the Taiwan issue an “unwavering historical mission” of the Communist Party of China. He stressed that Beijing will adhere to the “one country, two systems” policy and is ready to negotiate with Taiwan based on the “one China” principle.

“The course of history cannot be stopped. The complete reunification of the motherland must be achieved, and it will undoubtedly be achieved,” Xi Jinping said.

He also called on the people of China and Taiwan to resist forces advocating for the island’s independence.

At the same time, the Taiwanese authorities rejected the Chinese leader’s statement. The Council on Relations with Mainland China emphasized that neither the government nor the people of the island would agree to the “one country, two systems” model, as it would mean subordination to the authoritarian rule of the Chinese Communist Party.

“As for the wording on Taiwan reunification, it is almost the same as before,” said council spokesman Liang Wen-tze.

Despite claims of a peaceful settlement, China does not rule out the possibility of using force against Taiwan. Beijing considers the island its territory, while Taipei rejects these claims.

Recall, previously , American officials assessed the risk of China invading Taiwan in 2027. They consider such a scenario unlikely, despite Xi Jinping’s demand to prepare the Chinese army for a possible operation.
