BEIJING — The root cause of the problems in the Taiwan Strait is the Taiwanese government’s seeking of independence and the island is an inseparable part of Chinese territory, China’s Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
The ministry was responding to a national day speech by Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen who said war between Taiwan and China is “absolutely not an option” and reiterated her willingness to talk to Beijing.
