China seeks peaceful reunification with Taiwan but will safeguard its territorial integrity, opposing independence. Increased military pressure on the island raises concerns as U.S. arms sales continue.
China expressed its commitment to achieving “peaceful reunification” with Taiwan, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding its territorial integrity. The Chinese Foreign Ministry made it clear that while they strive for peace, they will take necessary measures to protect their sovereignty.
Taiwan, governed democratically, is claimed by China, although Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te insists that only Taiwan’s citizens should determine their future. At a recent press conference, Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed that Taiwan would never be recognized as an independent nation.
Mao Ning, the Ministry’s spokesperson, reiterated this stance, urging the U.S. to halt arms sales to Taiwan and military contacts, labeling the Taiwan issue as a critical matter in Sino-U.S. relations. Tensions have heightened as Beijing intensifies military exercises near Taiwan, indicating a readiness to assert control.
