China's Xi says tide of history cannot be stopped, Taiwan 'reunification' must happen

Chinese ​President ‌Xi Jinping said ​on Thursday that the ‌tide of history cannot be stopped and the complete "reunification" ‌of the motherland with ‌Taiwan must be realised.

Resolving the Taiwan question is an "unwavering ⁠historical mission" ​of ⁠China's Communist Party, Xi ⁠said in a speech ​in Beijing marking the 160th ⁠birthday of Sun Yat-sen, ⁠who ​died in 1925 but helped lead the ⁠1911 revolution that ended centuries ⁠of rule ⁠by emperors and empresses.
