The article highlighted the distinction between 'two countries not subordinate to each other' and 'cross-strait mutual non-subordination.' President Lai emphasized Taiwan's sovereignty as an independent country under international law and reiterated that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other.
