China's President Xi Jinping vows 'reunification' with Taiwan | DW News

China has again said it will "reunite Taiwan with the mainland," as tensions ramp up further between Beijing and the self-governing island.
President Xi Jinping told a Communist Party gathering that such a move would happen peacefully, and that China could never tolerate any form of separatism. Taiwan has responded by saying it is a sovereign nation, and that its people would decide their future. Taipei has been bristling over China's recent military incursions.

It's the same situation that we had in Russia before Putin annexed Crimea: falling approval rating, economic problems. Crimea gave a huge boost to Putin's popularity but not for long. It also gave Russia sanctions and growing international isolation.
