Event Summary

China's top official for Taiwan policy, Wang Huning, announced firm support for 'patriotic pro-reunification forces' in Taiwan and a strong stance against 'separatists' at the annual 'Taiwan Work Conference'. China views Taiwan as its territory and is increasing military and political pressure to assert its sovereignty. Foreign Minister Wang Yi's attendance underscores the international dimension of this issue. China continues to offer a 'one country, two systems' model, which Taiwan's government rejects, citing repression in China===Hong Kong. Beijing has warned the United States against interference, particularly regarding arms sales to Taiwan. Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te is considered a 'separatist' by China, which refuses dialogue with him. A delegation from Taiwan's opposition party, Taiwan===Kuomintang, met with Wang Huning, though they stated political topics were not discussed.
