'After Hong Kong, Taiwan stands increasingly on the front lines of freedom and democracy,' says Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.
Taiwan stands on the front lines of freedom and democracy, President Tsai Ing-wen said Thursday, August 27, as Beijing clamps down on Hong Kong and ramps up military activities in the region.
"After Hong Kong, Taiwan stands increasingly on the front lines of freedom and democracy," Tsai told the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. Tsai regards Taiwan as a de facto sovereign nation but has resisted any formal declaration of independence, a move Beijing has long warned could spark war. Under US President Donald Trump Washington's ties with Taipei have increased as he jostles with China over a host of issues.
Beijing has cut off official contact with Taiwan under Tsai, who won re-election in a January landslide.
