Chinese President Xi Jinping Says Taiwan 'Reunification' Must Happen as History Cannot Be Stopped
Xi said Beijing would pursue reunification peacefully and under the one China principle, even as China keeps regular military pressure on Taiwan.
- On Thursday, Chinese President Jinping marked the 160th birth anniversary of Sun Yat-sen in Beijing, renewing calls for Taiwan's reunification as an "unwavering historical mission" of the Communist Party.
- The anniversary of Sun Yat-sen has highlighted deep-seated differences between Beijing and Taipei regarding his political legacy, as both sides claim the revolutionary leader who ended imperial rule as fundamental to their history.
- Jinping reiterated Beijing's commitment to "peaceful reunification and the policy of 'one country, two systems'," offering talks under the "one-China principle," though no major political party in Taiwan supports the arrangement.
- Taiwan President Lai Ching-te and the Democratic Progressive Party have rejected China's claims, defending the island's separate identity ahead of local elections scheduled in a little over two weeks.
- While Chinese military aircraft and ships operate regularly around the island, Jinping is expected to meet President Donald Trump at the APEC summit in Shenzhen next week to discuss broader geopolitical tensions.
