China will fight “resolutely” against “independence” Taiwan and “for the reunification of the motherland,” announced last Sunday in a government action report that outgoing Prime Minister Li Keqiang read during the ANP’s inauguration.

“We must carry out the strategy of the Communist Party (CCP) in the matter of Taiwanthat is, resolutely fight against their “independence” and for the reunification of the homeland,” Li said.

Relations between Beijing and Taipei escalated last summer after a visit to the island by then-Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, which raised tensions in the strait to an unprecedented high in recent years.

Taiwan, with which this North American country does not have official relations, is one of the biggest sources of conflict between China and the US, mainly because Washington is the main supplier of weapons to Taiwan and will become its biggest military ally in the event of a military conflict with the Asian giant.

Beijing has claimed sovereignty over the self-ruled island since the Kuomintang nationalists withdrew from there in 1949 after losing a war with the communist army.

China announced it will increase its defense spending by 7.2% this year to 1.55 trillion yuan ($224,384 million, €210,685 million) after the item rose 7.1% in 2022, according to a report which the ANP will consider in the coming days.
