How is China’s Communist Party changing its constitution?
For the first time, the party’s charter will say explicitly that it opposes Taiwanese independence, according to the resolution. The constitution will be changed to include “statements on … resolutely opposing and deterring separatists seeking ‘Taiwan independence.”
The existing charter says only that the party will “work continuously to strengthen the unity of all the Chinese people, including compatriots … in Taiwan” as part of efforts to achieve the “reunification of the motherland.”
