A White Paper which was released by the Chinese Communist Party on the Taiwan issue says that in order to reunify the island nation with the mainland, Beijing will use force and will turn towards “armed re-unification”.
This comes as China released a white paper titled “The Taiwan Question and China’s Reunification in the New Era” on Wednesday, reiterating its claims on the self-ruled island with over 22 million people, the Policy Research Group (POREG) reported.
The New White Paper claimed at the outset that the CCP “strives for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and efforts,” but then declared that non-peaceful means would be the “last resort.”
It also threatened to “not promise to renounce the use of force”.
The paper exposes China’s relentless wolf warrior diplomacy and clarifies that various previous promises, such as allowing Taiwan autonomy, which was made in the first White Paper released in 1993 and in the second White Paper brought out in the year 2000, were all farcical.
In earlier white papers, the CCP had promised that “the central government will not send troops and administrative personnel to Taiwan.”
