Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday that no individual or force will be allowed to separate Taiwan from China.

Wang described resolving the Taiwan question and realising the complete reunification of China as a historic process that cannot be stopped.

Taiwan has been an integral part of China since ancient times and “never was, is not, and never will be a country,” Wang said at a press conference on the side-lines of the ongoing session of the national legislature.

The Democratic Progressive Party authorities’ obstinate pursuit of their separatist agenda is the root-cause undermining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, said Wang.

Noting that the one-China principle has overwhelming support in the international community, Wang said the firmer the international community stands against the “Taiwan independence” and upholds the one-China principle, the more assured peace and stability will be across the Taiwan Strait.
