The Minister of Defense of China, Dun Jun, declared China's readiness for peaceful reunification with Taiwan, but stressed that the People's Liberation Army would remain strong to support this process.
He also said that the prospect of peaceful reunification with Taiwan is increasingly "blowing up" by Taiwan separatists and external forces.
Dun Jun stated that Taiwan is the "key problems" for China. He accused the ruling democratic progressive party of Taiwan of strengthening separatism and working on the "destruction" of Chinese identity of its citizens.
“These separatists have recently made fanatical statements that show their betrayal of the Chinese nation and their ancestors. They will be nailed to a shameful pillar of history, ”the Minister of Defense said.
He accused foreign states of interference with "internal issues" and "support of Taiwanese separatists."
It should be noted that such rhetoric, "we want a peaceful reunion, but if necessary, ready for war," China has been using a long time ago.
