Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke before 70,000 people in Tiananmen Square today to mark 100 years since the founding of the Chinese Communist Party. During his speech, Xi pledged to reunify Taiwan with China and warned against “bullying” by other countries.

President Xi Jinping: “The Chinese people have never bullied, oppressed or subjugated the people of other countries. We haven’t done that in the past, we are not doing it now, and we won’t do it in the future. … At the same time, the Chinese people will never allow any foreign force to bully, oppress or subjugate us. Anyone who dares try to do that will have their heads battered in front of the great wall of steel, forged with the flesh and blood of the over 1.4 billion Chinese people.”
