Taiwanese statements will not stop reunification of China: Chinese Foreign Ministry

Beijing, Oct 11 (UNI) Statements made by Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te will not prevent the inevitable reunification of China, Mao Ning, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, Lai delivered a speech, stressing that there must be no "annexation or encroachment" upon Taiwan’s sovereignty.
"There is but one China in the world. Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. The government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. No matter what they say or do, the Lai Ching-te authorities cannot change the fact that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same China, or stop the historical trend that China will and must achieve reunification. The attempt to seek independence and make provocations will lead nowhere," Mao said.
