China has repeatedly rejected overtures for talks from Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te, who has refused to acknowledge Beijing's claims of sovereignty over the island. Lai has stated that Taiwan will continue to enhance its defense capabilities, leading China to label him a "separatist". The Chinese government has warned that it may respond to the anniversary of Lai's presidency with military drills, although this has not been confirmed.

    1. I also reiterate here - Taiwan is happy to have exchanges and cooperation with China as long as there is reciprocal dignity. Using exchanges to replace hemming in, dialogue to replace confrontation.
    2. No matter what the leaders of the Taiwan region say or how they say it, it cannot change the fact that Taiwan is a part of China … nor can it stop the inevitable trend of national reunification.
    1. The government will set up a sovereign fund to create a national investment platform, making full use of Taiwan's industrial strengths, led by the government, in collaboration with the strengths of private enterprises.
    2. I, too, am committed to peace. Because peace is priceless and war has no winners. But when it comes to seeking peace, we cannot have dreams nor illusions.
