China perceives deepening relations between the American and Taiwanese leaderships as a blow to the 'One China' notion. President Xi held the prospect of peacefully unifying Taiwan but also reiterated that China could use force. The Chinese Communist Party is likely to express displeasure at the election of a pro-independence president in Taiwan by putting a squeeze on the island’s businesses. China’s statements have emphasized the inevitability of unification, attempting to sow resignation among the Taiwanese people. Although China’s ambition to gain control of Taiwan is clear, doing so through force would prove enormously difficult and costly. The head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command expects China to demonstrate force against Taiwan soon, likely blaming the United States for the recent election.
