RapidcreekXi warned Biden during summit that Beijing will reunify Taiwan with China
Heresy_generatorUS media needs to stop using the word "reunify" to refer to the PRC's threatened imperial conquest of an island they've never controlled.
The news media needs to report on what is true and verifiable, without adding their own interpretation (except for labelled opinion pieces).
In this case, the true and verifiable fact to report is what Xi told Biden. And he probably used a word meaning “reunify”.

If they're using a false term that someone else used they should use quotes:

Iit should always be apparent there is editorialization happening tho. Kinda like [sic] -> that is obviously the author clarifying they are not misquoting or misspelling
MisterFrogWhat you’ve written is still editorialising. The way it’s written is also clear who was making the statement, Xi was. In the eyes of China it is reunifying, so no matter one’s opinion, it is their stated opinion, so seems weird to put “reunfiy” in quotations when the rest isn’t.
