Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai on Nov. 25 rejected a call by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping for Taiwan to “return to China,” saying that is not an option for his country.

Cho made the remarks after Xi pushed Beijing’s claims of sovereignty over the island during a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.
