Xi Jinping announced China's willingness to "reunify" with Taiwan.
"The flow of history cannot be stopped. The complete reunification of the motherland must and will definitely be achieved," said Xi Jinping, Chairman of the People's Republic of China and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The Chinese leader's words about the inevitability of the mainland's "reunification" with Taiwan and the need for the Chinese on both sides of the strait to resist the "separatist forces" were quoted in the "Korea Times".
Xi made the announcement at an event marking the 160th anniversary of the birth of the first president of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925), a revered figure both in present-day Taiwan and in mainland China. "We are willing to conduct dialogue and consultation with reasonable representatives of all sectors of the Taiwanese public regarding cross-strait relations and national unification based on adherence to the One China principle and the 1992 consensus," the Chinese leader promised.
