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”.

report what is true and verifiable
if they did that there wouldnt be much news, a lot fewer journalists, less jobs overall, and much less advertising revenue.

But it’s a good yardstick to measure the news you’re reading. Always ask yourself:
“Are they reporting on something that happened? If yes, do they say who’s seen it happen?”
Way too many “news stories” nowadays boil down to “some no-one posted something on X about something they haven’t themselves witnessed”.
