Stanley Kao—Taiwan's top diplomatic representative to the U.S.—told Newsweek that China's system of government would never be accepted by the Taiwanese people.
Taiwan's elections rounded off a turbulent year for the Chinese Communist Party. China's growing influence in the world has brought with it more scrutiny, whether on malign trade practices, human rights abuses in the territories it controls, or its slowing economic growth.
"We have a separate identity and we're a country of our own," Tsai said."We deserve respect from China." China should engage in serious reflection about the Taiwan people's expectations as expressed by the election results. Through these elections, the Taiwanese citizens, who dislike being threatened or undermined all the time, are sending a loud and clear message. With a successful democratic system and a decent economy, we deserve respect from China.
Despite China's constant diplomatic pressure and military muscle-flexing, we stay undaunted, vigilant and at the same time have maintained a non-provocative, non-adventurist attitude to prevent serious conflict from breaking out in the Taiwan Strait.Taiwan's vibrant democratic practices are a stark contrast to Beijing's ruthless one-party rule and oppression.
At this moment, it is even more significant for a"Beacon Taiwan" and a"Vision Taiwan" to keep staying its course, walking tall, and upholding our sovereignty, security and dignity. Over the past few years, China has blatantly used financial and political pressure to squeeze Taiwan's international space. We have responded with the sternest condemnation as not only a threat to Taiwan, but also a brazen challenge and detriment to the international order. For decades, Taiwan's attitude towards its diplomatic allies has been one of genuine friendship. We spare no effort and engage our allies with respect and sincerity.
