The Chinese People's Liberation Army is warning against the escalation of separatist activities in Taiwan. A spokesperson for the army announced that they would tighten the noose around the island in case of further provocations.

Li Qiang said China would strive to work with regular Taiwanese to realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Li Yihu said the offer of a ‘one country’ two systems’ arrangement may be withdrawn by Beijing if Taiwan ‘moves towards separatism’.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is determined to retake Taiwan for the Chinese Communist Party by 2027, either with coercive methods or through a kinetic war, a retired CIA officer says.

The world's second-largest population has been trending downward amid the rising cost-of-living and changing cultural attitudes among the younger population.

China said that Taiwan is "fundamentally different" from Ukraine after a man recently recalled how he stopped the self-governed island from building the capability to produce nuclear weapons by leaking intelligence to the United States near the end of the Cold War.
