the chinese communist party has long seen the chinese communist party has long seen reunification ofong refused to rule out the use of force to achieve that goal. so in one sense there's not much new here from president xi. but in the other sense of course this is a man who is arguably now the most powerful chinese leader since chairman mao and someone who has linked this idea of national destiny very much with his political vision. i think very much with his political vision. ithink in very much with his political vision. i think in that sense people will see these words particularly that threat of force as significant. the taiwanese president tsai ing—wen has been quick to react and called for china to tone down these threats, does kind of rhetoric. she says china needs to respect the insistence on freedom and democracy that taiwan has and also worth noting of course that the idea of china using military force and launching an invasion across the well defended taiwan strait would be a huge military and strategic gamble andi a huge military and strategic gamble and i think although
