China drops 'peaceful reunification' reference to Taiwan

Big news as China is looking to take back Taiwan. I’m sure they would make a move after the election if Trump wins.

China also officially adopted tougher language against Taiwan as it released the budget figures, dropping the mention of “peaceful reunification” in a government report delivered by Premier Li Qiang at the opening of the National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s rubber-stamp parliament, on Tuesday.
