The Chinese president Xi Jinping on Wednesday warned that his country was ready to defeat Taiwan separatism.
China has "the resolve, the confidence, and the ability to defeat separatist attempts for Taiwan independence in any form", he told a gathering of the Communist Party in Beijing.
"We will never allow anyone, any organisation, or any political party, at any time or in any form, to separate any part of Chinese territory from China," he was added.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
