The Chinese government would like the island of Taiwan to come under its control through peaceful means, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated.
– “I think China’s preference is probably to have Taiwan willingly, voluntarily join them. In a perfect world, what they would want is some vote or a referendum in Taiwan that agrees to fold in. I think that’s what they would prefer,” he said in an interview with NBC News.
– At the same time, according to the top US diplomat, attempting to resolve the situation with Taiwan by force “would be a terrible mistake” and would lead to negative consequences around the world.
