Here are five things Putrajaya can do for stateless persons after ‘one step forward, one step back’ citizenship Bill, international groups sayFile photo of Taiwan ’s President Lai Ching-te addressing veterans at a ceremony commemorating the war against Chinese forces on the frontline island in Kinmen, Taiwan August 23, 2024.
“ will not yield an inch of ground in Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu to firmly defend our homeland,” Lai said in a speech, referring to the islands controlled by Taipei. China’s Communist Party has never ruled democratic Taiwan, but Beijing claims the island as part of its territory and has said it will never renounce the use of force to bring it under its control.
Lai, who took power in May and has been more outspoken than his predecessor in defending Taiwan’s sovereignty, earlier attended a sombre ceremony for the battle and shook hands with veterans. Beijing severed high-level communications with Taipei in 2016 and has since ramped up military and political pressure on the self-ruled island.
