  • Lai expressed concerns over rising threats from authoritarian regimes, including China, and emphasized the necessity for Taiwan to prepare for potential dangers.
  • In a coinciding move, Taiwan reported the first Chinese military patrol of the year, involving 22 aircraft and numerous warships around the island.
  • Lai highlighted Taiwan's efforts in diversifying its economic partnerships, aiming to reduce reliance on the Chinese market amid continuous military harassment.
  • The Taiwanese government maintains that only Taiwan's people can determine their future, despite ongoing tensions with Beijing.
