China will not ‘give up use of military force’ over Taiwan: Xi

BEIJING, Jan 2, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – China will not give up the use of
military force as an option to ensure the reunification of Taiwan, President
Xi Jinping said Wednesday, while insisting the island would ultimately be
reunified with the mainland.

Beijing “reserves the option of taking all necessary measures” against
outside forces that interfere with peaceful reunification and Taiwan
independence separatist activities, he said.
