President Lai Ching-te in an interview with Time Magazine on June 14, 2024, reiterated the stance that 'the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China do not subordinate to each other,' a statement previously made by former Presidents Ma Ying-jeou and Tsai Ing-wen. Ma Ying-jeou criticized Lai Ching-te's remarks as deceptive and questioned his adherence to the 'One China' principle and the ROC Constitution. Various political figures weighed in on the issue, stressing the need for responsible handling of cross-strait affairs. The Mainland Affairs Council Chairman affirmed Lai's statements align with the objective facts and the current situation in the Taiwan Strait, but Ma Ying-jeou condemned Lai's 'New Two Countries Theory' as unconstitutional and damaging to cross-strait relations.
