China’s communist regime intends to move against Taiwan on a “much faster timeline” than previously believed, according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who warned that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is determined to wrest control of the self-governing island, potentially by force.

Blinken made the remarks on Oct. 17 at an event jointly hosted by the Hoover Institution and Stanford University, alongside former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
