Taiwan's new president has a clear message as he continues difficult balancing act with China
Monday, 20 May 2024 The inauguration of Taiwan's new president, Lai Ching-te, is more about handing over the baton than any dramatic change in policy for the island which is overshadowed by its large and powerful neighbour, China.
Taiwan's new President Lai Ching-te in his inauguration speech calls on China to "cease political and military intimidation" of the self-ruled island, which Beijing sees as part of its territory.
Taiwan detected 37 Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, near its airspace, with 35 crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait. In response, Taiwan deployed aircraft, naval vessels, and shore-based missiles. The incident follows recent Chinese military drills and heightened defense patrols. China frames these maneuvers as defense measures, raising tensions as Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province, intensifying regional concerns over potential conflict.
