Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen responded to China's recent announcement of severe penalties for Taiwan independence advocates, including the possibility of imposing the death penalty. Tsai emphasized that democracy is not a crime, but authoritarianism is. She criticized China for trying to punish Taiwanese people for their beliefs and highlighted China's distorted view that anyone not supporting unification is considered advocating for independence. Tsai urged for unity in facing this issue and called for China to engage in dialogue with Taiwan's democratically elected government to improve cross-strait relations.
