The 20th Communist Party congress opened in Beijing with Xi Jinping pledging to "reunify" China by bringing Taiwan under the mainland's control. He said China would "take all necessary measures" to quell "separatist movements", by force if necessary. Mr.Xi also defended his increasingly painful zero-covid policy, calling measures to contain the virus an "all-out people's war". Despite a convention that Communist Party leaders serve a maximum of two five-year terms, the congress is expected to bestow Mr.Xi a third.
