China Vows Utmost Efforts for 'Peaceful Reunification' With Taiwan
China will exert utmost efforts to realise "peaceful reunification" with Taiwan, but will take all necessary steps to safeguard China's territorial integrity. Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized the importance of reunification, stating that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. The Chinese government views Taiwanese identity as a threat to its national unity.

- How will the international community respond if China were to make a military move against Taiwan, and what implications would this have for global security and diplomatic relations?
