Xi: Nobody can Change Fact Taiwan is Part of China
Chinese President Xi Jinping has said that no one can change the fact that Taiwan is “part of China”, adding that Beijing will not give up the use of military force as an option to ensure “reunification”, in a speech marking the 40th anniversary of a Taiwan policy statement. RSIS research fellow Graham Ong-Webb said that while Xi’s remarks on Wednesday were “consistent” with the “message put out by the Chinese government over the last 40 years under the tenure of a string of premiers,” the Chinese president in recent years has been delivering “the same message albeit in a more sharp and firm stance for various reasons.”
