During his New Year’s Day address to the nation, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared on Tuesday that Taiwan’s reconciliation with China is unavoidable.
On both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Chinese people are one home. No one can cut our blood relations, and no one can reverse the motherland’s historical trend toward reconciliation, Xi said in a televised address.
Xi’s tackle comes days before Donald Trump‘s US national inauguration.

Taiwan continues to be China’s main source of contention. While the US doesn’t fully identify Taiwan, it is a crucial strategic partner and its primary arms supplier. Trump has threatened to increase taxes against China for what he deems to be cruel business practices, which could raise US-China business conflicts. China denies these statements.
China opinions Taiwan, a self-governing area, as its territory and maintains it will employ force if necessary to achieve control. Since President Lai Ching-te took office in May, Beijing has been conducting three significant defense activities. The most recent training, earlier this month, were apparently the largest in decades, according to Chinese officials.
During a conference with a top political advisory group on Tuesday, Xi also discussed the government’s financial situation. He announced that the country had “more effective” economic procedures in the coming year, according to state media reports.
CCTV quoted Xi’s solve at a New Year’s teas party to the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, emphasising the necessity for considerable reform advancement, increased high-level financial accessibility, improved balance between development and security, alongside the implementation of more powerful and result-oriented economic strategies. He said,” We must… further comprehensively deepen reform, expand high-level opening up, better coordinate development and security, ( and ) implement more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies”.
During the entire year, China has experienced substantial economic challenges, mainly as a result of a decline in the real estate market, declining consumer spending, and growing public debt.
In recent months, the Beijing government has taken a number of bold steps to encourage economic growth, including lowering interest rates, removing cover buy restrictions, and offering local administrations debt relief.
But, financial experts point out that a full recovery in China requires more direct fiscal measures that target domestic consumer spending.
