“Taiwan does not seek military confrontation. It hopes for a peaceful, stable, predictable and mutually-beneficial coexistence with its neighbours. But Taiwan will also do whatever it takes to defend its freedom and democratic way of life. The Indo-Pacific needs a peaceful, stable and transparent environment and there are many opportunities in the region. But this also brings new tensions and systemic contradictions that could have a devastating effect on international security and the global economy if they are not handled carefully. Taiwan is fully committed to collaborating with regional players to prevent armed conflict in the East China, South China Seas and in the Taiwan Strait.”
