Understanding China’s Stance On Taiwan Amid ‘Abnormal’ Military Drills

 

China’s Vice President Han Zheng highlighted Beijing’s “strong will” on Taiwan at the UN General Assembly on Thursday

The Chinese Vice President stressed Taiwan constitutes an “inalienable part” of China while noting Beijing preferred peaceful means to take the democratically governed island.

He also reiterated China’s consistent position on the Taiwan question as some US-backed forces and the DPP authorities have been making some “trivial noises” at this annual gathering of world leaders, repeating their old trick of trying to turn the Taiwan question into a global topic.

Taiwan has reported an increase in such activities during the past week, as numerous fighters, drones, bombers, and other aircraft, as well as warships, have operated nearby.

The defense ministry had earlier reported on monitoring Chinese activities near Dacheng Bay in the southern province of Fujian, facing Taiwan.
