💨 Abstract

Taiwan President Lai Ching-te is facing criticism from China for his upcoming speech in Taipei, which could prompt a military response. Lai, viewed as a "separatist" by China, claims Taiwan has older political roots than the People's Republic of China and rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims. China's Taiwan Affairs Office has accused Lai of peddling the "Taiwan independence fallacy" and escalating hostilities.
