That the Parliament notes with regret the recently reported comments by President Xi of China at which he stated that Taiwan “must and will be” reunited with his country and that Taiwan "must understand that independence will only bring hardship"; believes that the Chinese Government has said that it wishes to reserve the right to use force and to "reserves the option of taking all necessary measures" against any external force that interferes with the unification and enforcement of China's "One country, two systems" plan, which would see Taiwan treated on a similar basis to Hong Kong; understands that President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan has stated that her country would never accept unification on such a basis; supports her in these comments, and calls for continued peace between China and Taiwan.
