Xi Jinping: The reunification of Taiwan with China is inevitable, the course of history cannot be stopped

Chinese President Xi Jinping stated that the reunification of Taiwan with China is inevitable and cannot be stopped. He promised to pursue this goal peacefully without using force. During a speech commemorating the 160th anniversary of revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen, Xi emphasized China's commitment to peaceful reunification while maintaining the principle of 'One China'. He called on Chinese people, including those in Taiwan, to unite against separatist forces seeking independence. Taiwan's government has not yet responded to Xi's remarks. In response to rising tensions, Taiwan conducted its largest military exercise in August, mobilizing thousands of reservists to prepare for a potential Chinese invasion, as analysts have long advised Taiwan to adopt asymmetric defense strategies against China.
