  • President Lai of Taiwan asked China to stop its military and political threats, saying in his inauguration speech that peace is the only choice and that Beijing had to respect the choice of the Taiwanese people.
    Lai, addressing the crowd outside the Japanese-colonial-era presidential office in central Taipei, repeated a call for talks with China, which views the proudly democratic island as its own territory and has never renounced the use of force to bring it under Beijing's control.

      The US doesn’t regularly violate Cuban airspace. The US doesn’t ramble about how a conquest and integration of Cuba into itself is an inevitability. The US isn’t preparing large military drills for an invasion of Cuba.
      The US and Cuba have a tense but cold relationship. China and Taiwan have a tense but heating up relationship, in which China is the aggressor.

    Xi Jinping views Taiwan as part of China, but more critically, he perceives it as a threat. The democratic values and principles in Taiwan could inspire similar aspirations across China, potentially undermining the autocratic regime. This situation mirrors what has been happening in Russia, where Putin and Lukashenko have faced revolutionary pressures within their respective countries, particularly in Belarus and Ukraine, with demands for freedom and democracy. Consequently, they initiated the war in Ukraine to stifle the spread of democratic ideals.It's all about power for their parties, not for people or humanity.
