Mainland China has stressed its “greatest sincerity” for peaceful reunification with Taiwan, amid escalating drills surrounding the self-ruled island following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unannounced visit to Taipei. The Taiwan Affairs Office and the Information Office, both under Beijing’s State Council, jointly issued a white paper titled “The Taiwan Issue and China’s Reunification in the New Era” on August 10, 2022, reiterating Beijing’s claims to the island and denouncing “Taiwan independence” efforts. The document was made public on August 10, the same day the People’s Liberation Army announced the conclusion of military exercises around Taiwan, which started soon after Pelosi wrapped up her visit to the island on August 3.
