Chinese President Xi Jinping says the “reunification” of Taiwan with China is inevitable, describing it as a historical mission. He argues that history cannot be stopped and frames complete reunification as something that “must” happen.
Across the reports, China’s position remains that Taiwan is part of China, even though Taipei rejects that claim. Xi also reiterates that China’s approach is “peaceful reunification” and refers to an autonomy concept previously described as “one country, two systems,” which the accounts note has been offered repeatedly but is not supported by major Taiwanese political parties.
One outlet adds more context, linking Xi’s remarks to a speech delivered in Beijing and noting the occasion and historical backdrop connected to Sun Yat-sen. Another focuses more narrowly on the statement about reunification as an unwavering historical mission tied to the Communist Party’s role.
