TAIPEI, 11 October 2021, (TON): Claimed by China as its own territory, Taiwan has come under growing military and political pressure to accept Beijing's rule.
Taiwan will keep bolstering its defences to ensure nobody can force the island to accept the path China has laid down that offers neither freedom nor democracy, President Tsai Ing-wen said, in a strong riposte to Beijing.
Claimed by China as its own territory, Taiwan has come under growing military and political pressure to accept Beijing's rule, including repeated Chinese air force missions in Taiwan's air defence identification zone, to international concern.
Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to realise "peaceful reconciliation" with Taiwan and did not directly mention the use of force. Still, he got an angry reaction from Taipei, which said only Taiwan's people can decide its future.
