They didn't include the phrase in a report == they're gonna invade?

I guess, if you're a braindead natocucked reporter.

Although it is not the first time that China had omitted the word "peaceful", the change in language is closely watched as a possible sign of more assertive stance towards Taiwan.

lol

They've left out that part before, this is kind of a nothingburger and just reads as warmongering tbh.

military budget that has more than doubled under President Xi Jinping’s 11 years in office

...Because the entire economy has doubled in size in that time. China's defense spending as a percentage of the gdp has actually gone down the past few decades.

Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China.

Some guy rolls a dice to decide if they want to mention it. It's the most nothingburger of nothingburgers. It's happened multiple times in the past and it'll keep happening.
