China has announced the first details of a controversial law that would allow it to use force against Taiwan.
Legislator Wang Zhaoguo said such means would only be used as a last resort, if peaceful reunification efforts failed.
A BBC correspondent in Beijing says anyone seeking clarity on the law will be disappointed, since the explanations were both brief and vague.
China sees Taiwan as its territory, and has threatened to use force if the island formally declared independence.
Taiwanese lawmakers responded quickly and angrily to the proposed legislation, saying it was a pretext for attack.
