Cross-strait reunification is an overriding historical trend and the proper course, said Wang, adding that "Taiwan independence" is a retrogression that leads to a dead end.
If the US continues to stubbornly cling to the illusion of using Taiwan to contain China, China will resolutely counter and fight back, said a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson at a press conference.
