Beijing has reiterated its claims that Taiwan is Chinese and the result of the democratic territory's election does not change the fact that the island will eventually be "reunified".
China say its threat of using force to bring Taiwan under its control is not aimed at most Taiwanese - but foreign interference and a number of separatists instead.
In a statement on Wednesday, the government said Taiwan need to be disabused of "biases" against China, just days after a crucial presidential election.
Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won the election on Saturday and rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.

China views president-elect Lai Ching-te as a dangerous separatist.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office said: "Our not promising to renounce the use of force is absolutely not targeted at Taiwan compatriots.
"We are targeting interference from external forces and the tiny number of Taiwan independence separatists and their separatist activities."
China has sent frequent fighter jets and warships into the Taiwan Strait over the past year and a half in a bid to threaten the island.
Speaking during a news briefing, Chen suggested that public opinion in Taiwan dream of peace not war, exchanges not distance, and to "take down" the DPP.
"If the DPP does not repent and goes further and further on the wicked path of seeking 'independence' provocations, it will only push Taiwan into a dangerous situation and bring serious harm to Taiwan," he said.
Chen added that Taiwanese are "our flesh and blood", but some have been "poisoned" by ideas of independence.
He said: "We are willing to maintain sufficient patience and tolerance, continue to deepen the understanding of the mainland of the motherland by the majority of Taiwanese compatriots, and gradually reduce their misunderstandings and doubts.

Opinion polls in Taiwan show an overwhelming number of people who consider themselves Taiwanese not Chinese.
There is close to no support for China's "one country, two systems" model of autonomy to get the island to accept Beijing's rule.
