President Xi Jinping on Sunday kicked-off the 20th congress of China's ruling Communist Party with warnings that he may use force to retake Taiwan as he slammed foreign interference in its reunification efforts.
The gathering of roughly 2,300 delegates from around the country began in the vast Great Hall of the People on the west side of Tiananmen Square amid tight security and under blue skies after several smoggy days in the Chinese capital.
Xi began a speech that touted the party's safeguarding of national security, maintaining social stability, protecting people's lives and taking control of the situation in Hong Kong, which was rocked by anti-government protests in 2019.
On Taiwan, Xi said, 'We have resolutely waged a major struggle against separatism and interference, demonstrating our strong determination and ability to safeguard state sovereignty and territorial integrity and oppose Taiwan independence.'
The gathered delegates responded with loud applause as their president emphasized that China will 'never commit to abandoning the use of force' in its unification with Taiwan, which he called inevitable.
Xi added that China will accelerate the building of a world-class military and strengthen its ability to build a strategic deterrent capability
Xi reaffirment of China's power in Asia comes after President Joe Biden vowed the US military will defend Taiwan if China launches an invasion as he ramped up the rhetoric with Beijing over the tiny island nation.
The President suggested he would deploy troops to the region if Xi Jinping's forces initiated an 'unprecedented attack'. But his explosive comments were quickly torpedoed by the White House, which said official policy had not changed.
An official rushed to stress the US remains 'strategic ambiguity' to the threat to Taiwan - as set out in the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act.

I see that Xi is showing Joe the children’s book section.
Catering to Joe’s kiddie fetish or suggesting some literature in keeping with his intellect?
Don’t forget stairs...

The problem is that Neville Chamhberlain somehow cloned himself to transmit his “Peace in our time” genetic mutations
through out the world.
What happened to the mantra “Peace through Strength?”
............Oh, I forgot, that disappeared with the Green New Deal !
The USA is a sitting duck, ready for transmogrification into Peking Duck.
Biden , Obama and his running magic negro dogs will be so disappointed to find that their Utopia will be jack booted right out of their Universe.They will have re=education camps in whichi to prepare their bodies for organ donation.
Homo Sapien Vomitus>>>>>>>>>>>
How have we evolved to such a weakened estate in the USA?
Its actually HORRID!
The Nov. 8th election had better bury the party that has brought this horrid weakness on.
Or soon the Western democracies will be eating with chop sticks.
He’ll take it over during Biden’s term.
For a very long time it’s been obvious that all the people best qualified to run the country are busy doing something they consider more worthwhile. Politics is left with the dregs who can’t get a better job.
well, thats understandable becaue even the patriots among them seem to go strangely silent when mounting their office chairs in Washington. Must be something in the water.
Come on Joe, taunt Zi, keep taunting him until he gets tired of your stupid taunts and says the hell with him, I will take Taiwan. Might as well do it while this decrepit stooge runs his broke ass pussy country into the garbage heap of history.
Cowardice. It’s the new green.
Good one!
We are running out of weapons puny brain.
Taiwan is already armed to the teeth - pound for pound they were scary to begin with.
Yeah, seriously. Combined with their geography as a mountainous island, Taiwan might just be the most difficult place in the world to invade.
There’s a reason why Nazi Germany conquered Europe, but just couldn’t take Britain
Well, the land invasion of a neighbor state didn’t go to well for the Russians, so I wonder how a sea invasion of an island will go for the Chicoms?
My guess? About the same.
