Xi's Address on Taiwan Reunification The military reporter
Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent New Year's address reiterated China's commitment to the One China principle, asserting that reunification with Taiwan is inevitable. This policy, which views Taiwan as an integral part of China, is supported by many countries, including Russia, but contrasts with the United States' approach, which, while officially recognizing the One China policy, also maintains military ties with Taiwan. Xi's statement emphasizes the shared heritage between mainland China and Taiwan and the importance of national reunification. Beijing's stance is fueled by its opposition to continued US arms sales to Taiwan, which it sees as escalating regional tensions.
