Xi Jinping celebrated the eve of China Communist Party’s 75th anniversary with words reaffirming his resolution to reunify Taiwan with mainland China. Jinping’s message comes mere days after the United States provided Taiwan with over $567 million in aid and a promise to remain the nation’s leading ally.
“It’s an irreversible trend, a cause of righteousness and the common aspiration of the people. No one can stop the march of history,” he told the thousands in attendance at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, according to state-run news agency Xinhua. Taiwan has operated as a separate government since October 1, 1949, after the end of China’s civil war when the nationalists fled to Taiwan to avoid communist persecution. China has always maintained its One China policy despite Taiwan conducting elections and operating independently.

“Taiwan is China’s sacred territory. Blood is thicker than water, and people on both sides of the strait are connected by blood,” Xi Jinping reiterated. “(We must) resolutely oppose ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist activities.”
