China has hardened their stand on Taiwan with the new Prime Minister emphatically declaring in his first press conference that two were “one and the same family” and shared an “unbreakable bond of blood and friendship”.
Premier Li Qiang was addressing the customary press conference after the completion of the National People's Congress in Beijing. Li told reporters that China had recorded a “major and decisive victory” in its battle against the disease and insisted the government had “always put people and their lives above everything else”.
The policy adopted was changed in response to conditions, he added, and was “completely right” and “highly effective”. Li was the party boss in Shanghai during that city’s harsh lockdown when some of its 26 million residents complained they were suddenly stuck at home without enough food to see them through a prolonged lockdown.
