Taiwan is a "wanderer" that will eventually come home according to the Chinese government's top diplomat. Taiwan is also "not a chess piece to be played with" it added.
"Taiwan is a wanderer who will eventually come home, not a chess piece to be used by others. China must and will be reunified," China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory and has in the past two years stepped up military and diplomatic pressure to assert its sovereignty claims.
The cause of current tensions was the Taiwan government's attempts to "rely on the United States for independence" and the United States and other countries trying to "use Taiwan to control China."
China had taken "forceful countermeasures" to "shock the arrogance" of those who seek Taiwan's formal independence, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
Taiwan's government has repeatedly denounced China's pressure, saying that they will not give in to threats.
