    What you've quoted doesn't seem to be the whitepaper, but a press release about the whitepaper, summarizing it. Oh, and authoritarians (communists included) like long speeches and similar lengthy exposes even if they are repetitive. Commented Aug 10, 2022 at 15:57

    The citation is overly long. Can the important parts be summarized? The definition of white paper should be clear already without giving an example. Commented Aug 10, 2022 at 21:35

    @Trilarion I think that the full block quote is actually necessary in this case. This is a model of flabby and indirect writing and trying to summarize it would overlook its essential message and features. This is, after all, actually only an introductions and summary, albeit from an official source, anyway. Commented Aug 11, 2022 at 2:56

    Is this question about white papers in general, or this particular white paper about China's position on Taiwan? The title sounds general (and some of the answers seem to be taking it as a general question); if that's how you intend it the massive quote is inappropriate. If you intended the question to be about this particular white paper, the title needs to reflect that. Commented Aug 12, 2022 at 2:07
