BEIJING — The unification of Taiwan with mainland China “will surely be realized,” Chinese President Xi Jinping declared at a speech in Beijing on Tuesday to commemorate the 130th anniversary of Mao Zedong’s birth.
“[We] will resolutely prevent anyone from splitting Taiwan from China in any way,” Xi said, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
