This is stated in the White Paper published by the Chinese authorities on the issue of Taiwan.

“We are ready to continue to sincerely strive and make efforts for peaceful reunification, but we do not promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the possibility of taking all necessary measures,” RIA Novosti quoted the document as saying.

Earlier, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Wu Qian said that the PRC urges the United States to respect Beijing's vital interests and give up illusions about using Taiwan to control China.

The Kremlin said that tensions after the visit of the speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan will not subside quickly.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan would have serious consequences for Washington.
