Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te said in a videotaped address played at a U.N. meeting on Sept. 24 that China’s communist regime wants to do more than extinguish the island’s democracy.

“China’s threat to Taiwan is a threat to the entire international community,“ Lai said. ”China doesn’t just want to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. It intends to change the rules-based international order and achieve international hegemony.”
