President Lai Ching-te recently spoke to Time magazine about cross-strait policies, emphasizing that his statement during his inauguration speech on May 20 that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China do not belong to each other was not meant to provoke, but to urge China to show sincerity and engage in communication and cooperation with Taiwan's elected government. Premier Su Tseng-chang hopes that this goodwill can be heard by Chinese leaders, and that they can work together towards positive development. This statement has garnered criticism from mainland Chinese scholars, but Su reaffirmed Taiwan's sovereignty and advocated for democracy, peace, prosperity, and goodwill in the interview.
