Amid speculation during China's Two Sessions, Western media reports claimed Beijing adopted 'tougher language' on Taiwan by omitting 'peaceful reunification' from its work report. But Foreign Minister Wang Yi shut down the noise on Thursday, stating: 'We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity.' 🕊️
Experts say China's policy remains consistent: peace first, but readiness to deter separatist actions. 'Pro-independent forces, not the mainland, are destabilizing the Taiwan Strait,' said Li Nan, a Singapore-based analyst. 🔍
While China's military budget rise sparked worries, officials emphasize it's about safeguarding sovereignty—not aggression. Tensions, they argue, stem from Taiwan region politicians pushing independence agendas. 🤝
For young global readers: Cross-strait peace is key for tech collaboration, cultural exchanges, and regional stability. As Wang Yi put it, 'Compatriots on both sides are one family.' 🇨🇳💡
