💨 Abstract

Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te, marking one year in office, reiterated the country's commitment to peace and dialogue with China, stressing that war is undesirable. Lai, who rejects China's sovereignty claims over Taiwan, emphasized the need for continuous defense strengthening, asserting that preparing for war is the best way to prevent it. China has labeled Lai a "separatist" and dismissed his overtures for talks.
