Taiwan's Premier, Su Tseng-chang, stated that the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China are, of course, not subordinate to each other, emphasizing the need to maintain this status quo. This response came after Liang Wen-jie, the deputy minister of Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, faced criticism for his remarks that the two sides of the strait are essentially two countries and not constitutionally in violation. The controversy also involved backlash from Ma Ying-jeou's foundation office shouting back with accusations. The Premier emphasized that this non-subordination is crucial for national stability and security in the Indo-Pacific region.
