Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen says China is threatening the island 'nonstop' and posing a major challenge to regional peace and stability.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen delivers a speech during National Day celebrations in front of the Presidential Building in Taipei, Taiwan, Thursday, Oct. 10, 2019. In the national day address, President Tsai said China was threatening the island "nonstop" and posing a major challenge to regional peace and stability.
Tsai’s comments come amid a renewed push by China to internationally isolate the self-governing island democracy that it claims as its own territory by poaching its few remaining diplomatic allies. China cut off contact with Tsai’s government shortly after her inauguration in 2016 because she rejects Beijing’s claim to the island. She is the front-runner to win reelection next year, despite a push by Beijing to undermine her support in part by wooing the large Taiwanese business community in China.“We must stand up in defense,” Tsai said. “Rejection of ‘one country, two systems’ is the biggest consensus among Taiwan’s 23 million people across parties and positions.
“Over 70 years, we’ve endured all sorts of severe challenges and not only do none of these challenges knock us down, they make us stronger and more resolute,” Tsai said. “One offensive after another, they’ve not made Taiwanese people yield.” Today, just 15 countries, small and mostly impoverished, recognize Taiwan. Roughly 180 countries recognize China, which as the world’s second-largest economy offers generous financial inducements in exchange for formal diplomatic ties, far beyond those Taiwan can offer.Tsai looks largely to the United States for support, including the provision of weapons to defend against China.
“China would not seek a fight at the current moment and not try to antagonize the United States,” he said.
