China has warned Taiwan against making moves toward independence, saying it will take "drastic measures" if the self-governed island crosses red lines.

China’s President Xi Jinping has reiterated opposition to the Chinese Taipei’s “independence separatism” and vowed to realize a peaceful reunification with the self-ruled island.

China warns Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) after a massive aerial drill that the future of the island territory lies in “reunification” with the mainland, insisting that it can no longer rely on the US.
