Xi Jinping's New Year Message: Reasserts China's Stance on Taiwan Reunification

Chinese President Xi Jinping stated that the reunification of China with Taiwan is inevitable, in a message to the nation following China's military exercises around Taiwan. He emphasized that the ties between people on both sides are stronger than water and the historical trend towards national reunification cannot be stopped. Xi Jinping's message was in a similar tone to his previous warnings to forces seeking Taiwan's independence. China considers Taiwan a province and does not rule out the use of force to achieve reunification. Taipei condemned China's military exercises, characterizing them as a threat to regional security and a provocation. The situation in the region remains tense, with China increasing its military pressure on Taiwan. The message from President Xi Jinping is a clear indication of China's determination to advance its agenda for Taiwan, despite international reactions and concerns about regional stability.
