Taiwan’s President Lai Says China "Has No Right" to Represent Taiwan | Firstpost America

Tensions between Taiwan and China flared again as Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te reaffirmed the island's sovereignty, calling for peace but vowing to defend its independence. Lai's National Day speech emphasized that Taiwan will not submit to Beijing's claims, while Chinese warplanes continue to encircle the island. Meanwhile, Taiwan's coast guard seized a Chinese fishing boat near Qimei Island, detaining nine crew members after a high-seas chase. The boat had entered restricted waters, adding to a string of recent maritime incidents. As military drills intensify around the Taiwan Strait, both sides remain locked in a dangerous standoff.

China is too kind to Taiwan. If China could react like N. Vietnam or NKorea or Russia, then this tsia would not openly say so . Peace is what all wants, but not trying each time yo provoke war .

President Lai should test US resolves and prove that Dr Kissinger warning is a joke. "To be an enemy of US is dangerous, to be its friend is fatal"
