BEIJING (Reuters): China needs to keep both peaceful and military options to resolve the “Taiwan issue”, a top Chinese general said on Friday (May 29).

If the chance for “peaceful reunification” is gone, then China’s military will use all means to ensure the completeness of its territory, said Li Zuocheng, chief of the Joint Staff Department and member of the Central Military Commission.
