Xi Jinping Vows to Oppose Taiwan Separatism and Foreign Interference
Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on China to move forward with confidence and determination toward what he described as the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In a National Day statement, Xi reaffirmed Beijing’s opposition to Taiwan independence and vowed to resist what China describes as external interference in cross-Strait affairs.
Xi also called for continued efforts to promote the development of relations between mainland China and Taiwan, with the ultimate goal of achieving national reunification.
His remarks come as tensions across the Taiwan Strait remain high, with Beijing continuing to increase military and political pressure on Taipei.
China maintains that Taiwan is part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve reunification.
