US EditionChina to Support 'Reunification Forces' in Taiwan, Go After 'Separatists'
China will use political, economic, and information tools to support pro-unification forces and counter Taiwan independence ahead of local and national elections, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Wang Huning told delegates at the Taiwan Work Conference in Beijing to advance national reunification, back patriotic pro-unification forces, and oppose 'Taiwan independence' separatists and external interference.
- China's long‑standing claim that Taiwan is its territory explains Wang tying moves to uphold the 'one China' principle and 1992 consensus, while Beijing refuses talks with Taiwan President Lai Ching‑te, calling him a 'separatist'.
- The plan calls for targeted interference tactics including local election task forces, united‑front work, online cognitive warfare, import bans, and trips for village chiefs and community organisation leaders this year.
- Beijing's Jiang Bin warned 'they will inevitably be wiped out' if Taiwan provokes conflict, while Taiwan's government said only the people can decide their future.
- In the wider geopolitics, Xi Jinping told Trump last week that the Taiwan issue is the most important in China-US relations, as Taiwan's local elections at year's end could influence future ties.
