China should review Taiwan policy, Lai says

China’s policies prompted the US to increase its presence in the Indo-Pacific, and Beijing should consider if this outcome is in its best interests, Lai said

China has been escalating its military and political pressure on Taiwan for many years, but should reflect on this strategy and think about what is really in its best interest, President William Lai (賴清德) said.

The US has clearly stated that China is its biggest challenge and threat, with US President Donald Trump and US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth repeatedly saying that the US should increase its forces in the Indo-Pacific region to deter Chinese expansion, Lai said.

Lai questioned if this outcome is really in China’s best interests and suggested it reconsider its approach.

“Taiwan is a friendly and well-intentioned society; China should re-evaluate its policies,” Lai said.
