China says threats of force over Taiwan not aimed at most Taiwanese.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said the result of Taiwan’s election does not change the fact that the island is Chinese and will eventually be “reunified”.
“China’s position that it will not renounce the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control is aimed at foreign interference and a tiny number of separatists,” the Chinese government said on January 17, adding it was willing to give wide space for “peaceful reunification”.
Taiwan’s democratically elected government rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims but has repeatedly offered talks that have been rebuffed.
