TAIPEI - China will not change its position that Taiwan belongs to it, Beijing said on Sunday, after President Tsai Ing-wen won re-election and said she would not submit to China’s threats, as state media warned she was courting disaster.
While China says Taiwan is its territory, Taiwan maintains it is an independent country called the Republic of China, its formal name. On Saturday, Tsai called for talks to resume with China, but said she hoped Beijing understood Taiwan and its people would not submit to intimidation. Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council said China should respect the election result and stop putting pressure on the island.
