Exclusive‘Provocation’ could accelerate Taiwan reunification: retired PLA major general
Island’s leader William Lai has ‘challenged our red lines’, Luo Yan also tells SCMP on sidelines of Beijing’s Xiangshan Forum
Speaking on the sidelines of the Xiangshan Forum in Beijing on Wednesday, Luo said the timeline for reunification with mainland China was shaped by “the development of our national strength, our defence needs, the global security environment, as well as the degree of provocation from Taiwan”.
Luo’s remarks came amid heightened cross-strait tensions since Lai, of the independent-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), took office in 2024.
