The comments came one day after the U.S. and Canadian navies sailed through the strait between China and Taiwan. (Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Donavan K. Patubo/U.S.Navy via AP)

‘We share the same blood:’ Small minority in Taiwan would welcome reunification with China
KINMEN, TAIWAN - SEPTEMBER 24: People visit an old market street decorated with the national flag of Taiwan on September 24, 2022 in Kinmen, Taiwan. Kinmen, an island in the Taiwan strait that is part of Taiwan's territory, is so close to China that the deep-water port of Xiamen, one of China's biggest, lies less than three miles away across the water. It is one of the few areas of Taiwan that mainland Chinese tourists can visit without visas or permits, and has deep ties with the adjacent Fujian province of China. Wartime anti-tank barricades litter the beach on the island, which also feature the Zhaishan tunnel that Taiwanese forces still reserve the right to use in wartime and for military exercises.
