Furthermore, he emphasized that China will consistently adhere to the principle of "One country, two systems," continuing the integration of Hong Kong and Macau, which should ensure long-term stability and prosperity in these regions.
Earlier, Zhang Xiaogang, a representative of the Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China, stated Beijing's desire for peaceful reunification with Taiwan, but also noted that if the "red line" is crossed by supporters of the island's independence, China reserves the right to take necessary measures.
China considers Taiwan its rebellious province and rejects any official ties between the island and other states, viewing them as a threat to its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
