BEIJING (Reuters) – China will exert utmost efforts to realise “peaceful reunification” with Taiwan, its foreign ministry said on Monday, after the Chinese foreign minister declared last week that the island would never be “a country”.
China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory despite the objection of the government in Taipei. In recent years, Beijing has ramped up its military pressure against the island including holding of war games.
