On Saturday, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen pledged to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait amid rising military pressure from China.

In a presidential office speech in Taipei on her seventh anniversary, Tsai stressed that Taiwan would not provoke or cave to Chinese pressure.

Since Tsai took office in 2016, China has increased military and diplomatic pressure on Taiwan to embrace Chinese sovereignty.

Tsai, a separatist, has been rejected by Beijing for discussions. However, Tsai has consistently pledged to safeguard Taiwan’s democracy and freedom.

“No war.” “Neither side can unilaterally change the status quo with non-peaceful means,” Tsai added. “World and Taiwan agree on peace and stability.”

“No war.” “Neither side can unilaterally change the status quo with non-peaceful means,” Tsai added. “World and Taiwan agree on peace and stability.”

Taiwan is not a risk-taker. “Taiwan is a responsible risk manager and will work with democratic nations and communities to mitigate risks,” she said.

On Friday, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, host of the G7 conference in Hiroshima, said G7 leaders wanted a peaceful resolution to Taiwan’s concerns.

Tsai claimed Taiwan is in talks with U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration to receive $500 million in arms aid to compensate for COVID-19-delayed supplies.

Taiwan’s supply chain produces most of the world’s advanced semiconductor chips, and she pledged to preserve the most advanced chip technology and research and development centers in Taiwan.
China tensions will dominate Taiwan’s mid-January presidential election.

On Saturday, New Taipei City mayor Hou Yu-ih, representing Taiwan’s main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) party for the mid-January ballot, said Taiwan confronts a choice between “peace and war” under Tsai’s rule and pledged to maintain regional stability through “dialogue and exchanges.”

“The fears for war will never drive away the hope for peace,” Hou declared in Taipei to launch his election campaign, vowing to defend Taiwan’s formal name, the Republic of China.

Hou faces DPP Vice President William Lai.

The pro-China KMT has cast the 2024 election as a choice between war and peace.

When asked about the opposition’s election position in the presidential office, Tsai stated all political parties in Taiwan should support peace and not “sell the fears of war for elections gains.”
