China VP Han Zheng warns at UN of 'strong will' on Taiwan
2023-09-23
[ChannelNewsAsia] China warned on Thursday (Sep 21) at the United Nations not to underestimate its "strong will" on Taiwan, while saying Beijing preferred peaceful means to take the self-governing democracy.
Well sure. It’s so much less expensive when the target surrenders without forcing death and destruction.
Addressing the General Assembly, Vice President Han Zheng repeated Beijing's stance that Taiwan - around which the mainland has staged repeated military exercises - constitutes an "inalienable part" of China.

"No one should ever underestimate the firm resolve, strong will and the power of the Chinese people to safeguard their sovereignty and territorial integrity," he said.

"Realising China's complete reunification is a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation," he said.

"We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the utmost effort."
