Xi Declares Taiwan Reunification Inevitable in New Year's Address
The Spin
Pro-China narrative
China's recent military drills around Taiwan represent necessary and just measures to defend national sovereignty against dangerous separatist forces colluding with foreign powers. U.S. arms sales totaling $11.1 billion expose Washington's hypocrisy — claiming to uphold a one-China policy while actively emboldening separatists and transforming the region into a flashpoint. National reunification is an unstoppable historical trend, and reliance on external military support is both dangerous and delusional.
Anti-China narrative
Beijing's escalating military threats and propaganda reveal a regime desperately trying to project strength while its Eastern Theater Command suffers from leadership purges and dubious readiness. China's aggressive posturing is backfiring spectacularly — instead of intimidating Taiwan, it's internationalizing the issue and driving regional powers to cooperate in defending the rules-based order. The satellite photos and drills aren't displays of power but transparent attempts to compensate for internal instability.
