Taiwan's Complex Challenges: Amid China's Chaotic Tactics

In anticipation of President Lai Ching-te's national day speech, a source reveals China's ongoing efforts to cause chaos for Taiwan. The island faces military and psychological harassment, while its international presence is suppressed. Lai intends to continue Tsai Ing-wen's policy of maintaining peace and stability in the region.

Taipei, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Ahead of Thursday's keynote speech by President Lai Ching-te, a Taiwan source described China's persistent use of various tactics to create chaos. These actions were reported amidst a 'complex situation,' highlighting ongoing military and psychological pressure on the nation.

The source also mentioned China's efforts to limit Taiwan's international engagement, thereby increasing tensions. The expectation is that President Lai will reaffirm a commitment to uphold the course set by Tsai Ing-wen, aiming to sustain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

This continuation of policies seeks a balance against China's disruptive strategies, underscoring the regional importance of maintaining unobstructed international relations and security.
