SINGAPORE — China's defense minister, Adm. Dong Jun, vowed that anyone who aims to separate Taiwan from China will face "self-destruction." Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, the admiral called on "forces for Taiwan independence" to "abandon the illusion and return to the right track of reunification." "Anyone who dares to separate Taiwan from China will only end up in self-destruction," he said. In response to questions, Dong reiterated China's position that Taiwan is part of China and said Beijing is committed to peaceful reunification. Taiwan is a democratically self-governed island and recently inaugurated a new president on May 20. Thro
