flag Taiwan rejects China’s unification promises, calling them misleading amid political tensions.

flag Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council rejected Chinese claims of "benefits after unification" during a Beijing event marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's retrocession from Japan, stating such promises hold no appeal due to fundamental democratic and authoritarian differences. flag The council dismissed the event as a political maneuver by Beijing to promote unification, calling its narrative fabricated. flag Chinese officials including Wang Huning and Wang Yi attended, touting economic, energy, and security gains from unification. flag Taiwan maintains its sovereignty under the ROC framework since 1945, banning public officials and school staff from attending Chinese-organized events. flag Meanwhile, Taiwan plans roadside saliva drug tests by year-end and a NT$10,000 cash handout for residents, while northern regions face potential school and work closures due to heavy rain.
