China 'will take all necessary measures': Xi Jinping warns Taiwan

The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, opened a key Communist party summit with a speech warning Taiwan that the 'wheels of history' are turning towards Beijing taking control of the island.

He denounced 'foreign interference' for exacerbating tensions, following the US's increasingly explicit support for Taipei. 'The Taiwan issue is China's own problem to solve,' Xi told the 20th Communist party congress.

@1:40 “The complete reunification of the motherland must be achieved and can definitely be achieved.” Now where have I heard *that* one before? 🤔

[shakesbeer]

Independence for Hawaii and Texas now 🕊️

[indominusrex]

If this year couldn't get any worse with the russo-ukraine war now we have this

[wolabi]

Things like this are exactly why Taiwan wants independence in the first place

[huwzebediahthomas]

He wants their world's best chip factories.

Between him and Putin, I cant help but to feel sorry for Mongolia

[stewmaker]

Extremely sorry for the Taiwanese military.

Resistance is futile! Prepare to be assimilated. I think that sums it up.

*China and Taiwan living next to each other in peace with $200 billion worth of trade, direct flights, educational, cultural, religious, sporting, and humanitarian cooperation*
Xi: "This is unacceptable."

Maybe the people of China should have a say in this

I don't understand the people that are like "omg give Russia the whole Ukraine because their independence is not worth WW3" and now people are saying the same about China-Taiwan. When will we ever stand against bullies?

Zero covid policy has the reason. It is very handy tool to train the system and officials with all kinds of procedures of surveillance.

Seems the horse of history is dragging him through the town of time attached to the lasso of truth bound by the knotted rope of a dope.

[cgallegos]

They said the same things when talking of an independent Tibet. “We must liberate it from foreigners” (no foreigners allowed in country)

[clancyyuan]

1:15 this is aimed at the interference of external forces and a very small number of Taiwan independence' separatists. "instead of all Taiwan citizens" why skip over this part?

China 🇨🇳 Russia 🇷🇺 both love the motherland so much they want other countries to love it too

The thing with Russia/Ukraine is that Russia wasn’t prepared for the war which is why it had more failures but in the china/Taiwan conflict China is more prepared which is why china taking Taiwan is a big possibility

[dulfaMB]

Big ones eating small ones, it's been like this for some time, except, planet is not endless.

[Ilya_Sss]

Because Putin hasn't been punished yet

China, which owns an estimated $972 billion in U.S. Treasuries, is the number-two investor among foreign governments. China buys Treasuries to help depress the value of its currency, the yuan.

For China to attack Taiwan involving the US this asset would evaporate. If China plans on attacking it will cash in its bonds first creating a global financial crisis
