But down in the text, the New Year\u2019s message posted to the office\u2019s website had not-so-subtle wording, as Song warned \u201cthe motherland will eventually be reunified, and it will inevitably be reunified.\u201d The message came less than two weeks before Taiwan held its presidential and parliamentary elections and coincided with Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s message that reunification was an all but foregone conclusion."}
