00:00Taiwan's Premier Cho Jung-tai says on Tuesday that reunification with China is unacceptable to the island's 23 million people.
00:08His comments follow a call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump, during which Xi reaffirmed China's claim over Taiwan.
00:18Cho said Taiwan functions as a fully sovereign and independent state and that any notion of returning to China has no place in Taiwan's future.
00:28China continues to promote its one-country-two-systems model, yet no major political party in Taiwan supports the framework.
00:37Taipei also challenged China's version of history.
00:41It's said that after World War II, Taiwan was placed under the administration of the Republic of China ROC, the government that had been on the mainland since 1912.
00:50The People's Republic of China, by contrast, was not established until 1949, after the ROC government had already relocated to Taiwan.
