Lai Ching-te says ‘peace is priceless’ and war has ‘no winners’ as he marks year in office
Taiwan’s president has reiterated calls for peace and dialogue with China as he marked one year in office, amid heightened Chinese military activity and worsening political division at home.
Lai Ching-te, who was inaugurated a year ago, told reporters on Tuesday that a war would have “no winners”, but Taiwan would continue to strengthen its defences to ward off a Chinese invasion or attempt to annex it by force.
