“Chinese President Xi Jinping has renewed his calls for ‘reunification’ with Taiwanbut refrained from mentioning the use of force. ‘The historical trends are unstoppable. The complete reunification of our motherland must be realized, and it can, without doubt, be realized,’ Xi said on Thursday. His comments came in a speech marking the 160th birthday of Sun Yat-sen, the political leader who helped lead the 1911 revolution that overthrew China’s imperial dynasty and led to the founding the Republic of China. The Taiwanese government swiftly rebuffed the remarks, saying the territory would not accept submitting to the rule of China’s Communist Party.” [edtor’s note: The last time Taiwan was ruled from mainland Chinaq was 16 years before the 1911 revolution and 54 years before the establishment of the current mainland regime – TLK] (11/12/26)
