Chinese leader Xi Jinping has vowed that reunification with Taiwan “must be realized” on the eve of the island’s national day, just days after the regime ramped up military threats by sending a record number of warplanes near the island.
“Reunification of the nation must be realized, and will definitely be realized,” Xi declared at the Great Hall of the People, the political hub of Beijing, in a speech commemorating the 110th anniversary of what the mainland calls the Xinhai Revolution, which established the first two Chinese republics, the CCP on the mainland and Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China.
Xi, who chiefly used the speech to underscore what he believes is a need for the ruling communist party’s leadership in Taiwan, also called the island’s independence the “biggest obstacle to the reunification of motherland,” a policy goal of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and a “serious hidden danger to national rejuvenation.”
Beijing claims that the self-governed island of Taiwan is a province of China.
“Reunification through peaceful means is the most in line with the overall interest of the Chinese nation, including Taiwan compatriots,” Xi said.
But Beijing has not renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan into the fold.
The regime marked its 72 years of rule over the mainland by buzzing the liberal democracy of Taiwan with its largest show of military might, deploying a total of 150 fighter jets, bombers, among other military aircraft over the course of five days and sounding a warning message far beyond the island.

Communists lie and manipulate language all the time.
‘Conquest’ is not at all ‘Reunification’.
Good heavens... 😦😯
What a great time for World War IV 🙄🥺
🌍🌎🌋
If it comes, it comes.
But I don’t doubt that this administration will probably leave Taiwan swinging in the wind.
How do you reunify an Island that has never been a part of
China?
Must have slipped Xi’s mind.
@JoeBiden Tag. You’re it!
Economy imploding because of corruption, massive cascading fail occurring in China - real estate
Totalitarians always turn towards war for economic revival
What could we do? We are totally dependent on china for damn near everything. Sure, we’ll let the government walk all over us and cheat us out of our vote, voice and property. But we will never accept not having access to all the cheap chinise crap we buy. America aint what it used to be.
A thermonuclear war would accomplish the Great Reset, except that the billionaire oligarchs who want it would not be able to escape the fun.
many of those folks have underground bunkers.
some have already moved in
I was wondering that also...
A Chinese product “EMP” sounds good to me...
At the rate things are going, it looks like someone needs a war to hide the many other problems. Xi and Biden’s controllers may be thinking about it. Lets see who does the pushing the most. I never believed in world peace, and as far as war is concerned, we may be due for a whopper soon. The one thing this planet doesn’t need is more people. The heat is there, its only a matter of reaching the boiling point. “What nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man.” 60+ yrs later and that verse is still in my ear.
The same bankers funded both sides of WWI and WWII.
You are so wrong and out of touch. Nobody wants that crap. So speak for yourself pal.
Americans would love to buy American made goods even if they cost a little more. Globalism IS not popular.
If globalism is so great why don't the US manufactures scream about in their advertising? For example: Why doesn't Ford advertiser that the "Newly Redesigned Ranger is now built in Mexico"?
We should have sold all our decommissioned Minuet Men missiles to Taiwan.
Why do we need all of that Chinese ‘crap’?
We came here to start this country when many of us hadn’t much more than the shirts on our backs - and we’ve come a very long way from there.
We can live without the ‘crap’ - but we need a president who actually wants to build things At Home.
All I see Biden doing is selling-out our production and jobs.
War with the ChiComs over Taiwan ends trade with them overnight. This would be a great thing to come out of a terrible thing.
Won't have too. All that crap can be made here cheaply. When it comes to mass production it is about degrees of cheapness.
