Lai Ching-te

Taiwan’s local diplomatic representatives said the email was aimed at intimidating local MPs.

Taiwan’s representative in Australia says the two countries need to unite further to resist increased “coercive action” from the CCP.

‘Let us work together to show the world our determination to protect the democratic Taiwan,’ President Lai Ching-te said.

The close Taiwan-Japan relations are not only due to traditional friendship but also negative external factors caused by the CCP, said Prof. Sun.

‘I hope that China will face the reality of the Republic of China’s existence,’ Lai Ching-te said.

DFAT rejected Beijing’s ‘incorrect assertions,’ saying the visit is consistent with Australia’s one China policy.

Russia’s foreign ministry issued a statement parroting the CCP’s stance.

Vice President Lai Cheng-te’s election indicates Taiwan is set to continue its hard-on-China policies in the face of growing aggression from CCP.

The Chinese communist regime is looking to influence Taiwan’s presidential election on Jan. 13, analysts say.

Observers believe that the sudden investigation may be politically motivated as Taiwan’s presidential elections approach.

A total of 42 Chinese warplanes and eight naval vessels were spotted around Taiwan on Aug. 19, just a day after Taiwanese vice president Lai Ching-te returned from a sensitive trip to the United States.
