TAIPEI—Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen’s ruling party denounced China as an “enemy of democracy” on Nov. 25 following fresh claims of Chinese interference in the island’s politics ahead of presidential and legislative elections on Jan. 11.

China claims Taiwan as its sacred territory and to be brought under Beijing’s control by force if necessary.
