Xi’s tone took a more conciliatory approach than that of a speech he made in July, when he vowed to “smash” any attempts at Taiwan independence.
China claims the island of some 24 million people as part of its own sovereign territory, and has previously threatened to take control by force if Taiwan formally declares independence. However Taiwan, which has its own elected government and constitution, has maintained that it will defend its democracy and independence.
President Xi has previously spoken of the “inevitability” of Taiwan’s return and has said that the issue cannot be passed from generation to generation forever.
In response to Xi’s speech, Taiwan’s presidential office underscored the territory’s sovereignty, saying that its future “rests in the hands of Taiwan’s people.” It added that Taiwan’s people had clearly chosen to reject China’s offer of unification under a “one country, two systems” arrangement similar to that used in Hong Kong...

Wahpoop...Xi mouthpiece.
All I want is Peace...Peace....Peace!
A little peace of Poland
A little peace of France
A little peace of Austria
And Hungary perchance
And then a slice of Turkey
And all that it entails
Then a piece of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
Just like with Hong Kong. Bwassa HaHaHa
Taiwan would unify with China in a minute - if the Chinese Communist Party would relinquish all power and allow the leadership of Taiwan to assume full authority over all of China. And we KNOW that neva happen, GI.
Otherwise Taiwan would just be another Hong Kong. And we have seen how well that went.
The Chinese Communist Party trying everything ,LOL
I am sure that the government of the Republic of China would be more than happy of the Communist regime on the mainland would had over power to its legitimate constitutional government. What could be more peaceful?
The CCP wants peaceful unification with Taiwan
The elections are safe and secure
The vaccines are safe and effective
This war will be entirely Biden’s fault.
The check is in the mail
Actually Taiwan wants nothing to do with ruling China.
The model for ruling China is the historical administration of Hong Kong before it became an SAR.
There’s a large movement of Chinese diaspora pushing for just that.
If I were Xi I would be thinking with this U.S. president and current military leadership now might be a good time to take Taiwan. He needs to change the narrative about China’s real estate collapse and that’ll do it.
Yeah Nah. Look how well that worked for Hong Kong.
It will be, “mostly peaceful”, not painless, though. The chins will simply blockade the island until it cries “uncle”.
Taiwan 2022 = Austria 1938.
Sounds a lot like Hitler assuring Neville Chamberlain ......
More like Danzig 1939.
Xi must have peeked into the money box and noticed hey we better try this way.
Meanwhile, the ChiComs have just taken control of most of America’s largest ports.
I feel for Taiwan, but let’s deal with the threat at home FIRST.
