New Taiwan President Lai Ching-te urges China to stop threats
He was sworn in at Taipei’s historic presidential office, succeeding Tsai Ing-wen after serving as her vice president for four years.
“The future of the Taiwan Strait plays a decisive role in the future of the world, and as the people who take over the democratic progress of Taiwan, the new government will steer peace and maintain the status quo, being neither overbearing nor self-effacing. I also want to call on China to stop threatening Taiwan politically and militarily, to take on global responsibility for the maintenance peace and stability, and to ensure the world is free from the fear of war,” said Chinge-te.
Chinge-te said that people must be realistic about the threat posed by China, and the island must show its determination to defend itself.
