Top China official says peaceful ‘reunification’ with Taiwan is best path forward – Xinhua

Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said China was repeating the “same old message” and that China’s real aim was to “annex” Taiwan.
“The experience of Hong Kong has also demonstrated that ‘one country, two systems’ ultimately amounts to authoritarian rule by the Chinese Communist Party,” the council said.
The so-called development prospects under “unification” hold no appeal whatsoever for the people of Taiwan, it added.
China and democratically-governed Taiwan, which Beijing views as its own territory, have repeatedly clashed this year over their differing interpretations of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.
