China will work to firmly advance 'reunification' with Taiwan, premier says

Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced that China will "firmly advance" its efforts toward reunification with Taiwan while opposing external interference, according to his annual work report presented on March 6, 2025.

The Taiwan-related content in Li Qiang's report remains similar to last year's, with experts emphasizing a focus on integrating Taiwan into China, though the Mainland Affairs Council described it as "the same old rhetoric."
Experts noted the emphasis on promoting integration and unification with Taiwan, while stressing that the primary focus of the "Two Sessions" is domestic policy.
