Xiao Qian, the Chinese ambassador to Australia, said China would ‘not renounce’ the use of force in Taiwan and would take ‘all necessary measures’ to retain the ‘one China’ principle at the National Press Club on Wednesday.
Xiao said Taiwan was ‘not an independent state’ but a province of the People’s Republic of China. He said that while they were waiting for a ‘peaceful reunification’, China is willing to use any means necessary.
When asked what that would look like, he said: ‘You can use your imagination’
