China's ruling party plans to annex Taiwan on a "much faster timeline" under Chinese President Xi Jinping than previously thought, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday.
Of note: Blinken's comments at an event at Stanford University in California come days after Xi said during a Chinese Communist Party congress speech that the "wheels of history are rolling on toward China's reunification" with Taiwan and "we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary."
