China’s Taiwan Affairs Office on Wednesday reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful reunification but issued a sharp warning against provocation by those advocating independence for Taiwan. Spokesperson Chen Binhua emphasized that the Chinese mainland remains dedicated to the principle of 'one country, two systems,' calling it the 'best path' for cross-strait harmony.
🔍 'We will act resolutely if separatist forces cross red lines,' Chen stated, addressing concerns over a recent government report that omitted the term 'peaceful reunification.' He assured that core policies remain unchanged, prioritizing dialogue while underscoring China’s readiness to counter destabilizing moves.
💥 Tensions have flared as Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party faces accusations of colluding with external actors. Chen stressed Beijing’s determination to protect national sovereignty, declaring: 'We have the resolve, confidence, and ability to thwart any independence attempts.'
🌱 Despite challenges, China continues to seek peaceful solutions, urging cooperation to 'benefit people on both sides of the strait.' Analysts say the balancing act reflects Beijing’s dual focus on deterrence and diplomacy in a high-stakes geopolitical landscape.
