Chinese President Xi Jinping has concluded 2024 with a stark warning about Taiwan, stating, "No one can stop the reunification" of the island with China. Speaking on New Year's Eve, Xi reiterated China's claim over Taiwan, calling the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait one family. Tensions have escalated in recent months, with Beijing conducting military drills near Taiwan and intensifying diplomatic pressure. Xi's remarks come just weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration and amid growing tensions between China and the US, which strongly supports Taiwan's democracy and supplies its defense.
