President Xi Jinping has reiterated that Taiwan will be annexed by China. He said the Taiwan merger would be peaceful and in the interests of the people of both regions.
Indirect warnings were sent to the US and Japan that there was no need for outside involvement in the Taiwan issue. There have been several recent incursions by Chinese aircraft into Taiwanese airspace.
Taiwanese leaders have expressed concern that China could forcibly invade them at any time. The United States, on the other hand, says it will support Taiwan. Taiwan has reached an agreement on this. While Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state, China sees it as a sovereign territory under its control.
Jinping made the latest remarks on the anniversary of China’s liberation. The biggest obstacle to Taiwan’s merger with China was Taiwan’s independence forces. Jinping commented that Taiwan may be refusing now but they would definitely enjoy the fruit of it later. The merger of Taiwan was described as the desire of all Chinese.
Taiwan was under Chinese rule after the 1911 uprising. Taiwan has been fighting for independence since 1949. However, experts believe that China’s plan is to annex Taiwan by force.

US President Biden has said he hopes China will honor the Taiwan agreement. It is hoped that no action will be taken to breach the agreement. China, meanwhile, has said it does not want outside involvement in the Taiwan issue. It said it was their internal affair.
China says it will pursue a one-country, two-systems policy with Taiwan, similar to Hong Kong. But in the case of Hong Kong, China’s ownership is finally over.
Moreover, China has stated that its goal is to establish peace in the Indo-Pacific region. Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen has commented that they are not going to fall under somebody else’s rule and become their slave.
She commented that she doesn’t want this kind of independence. Jinping’s term ends next year. Political analysts, however, predict that he will seek a lifetime presidency with the amendments.
