President Xi Jinping used his annual National Day address on Monday to send a strong warning to “separatists” on Taiwan and to emphasise backing for Hong Kong and Macau.
Taiwan was “China’s sacred territory” and “the people on both sides of the [Taiwan] Strait are connected by blood”, Xi said at an official event in Beijing to mark Tuesday’s 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic.
“We must … promote the spiritual harmony of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and resolutely oppose ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist activities,” he said.
It was the second warning in two months from Xi to independence advocates since William Lai Ching-te succeeded Tsai Ing-wen as the self-ruled island’s leader.
