William Lai says the island nation has shown its independence through its presidential elections.
Taiwan’s vice-president William Lai is leading in opinion polls ahead of January’s presidential elections.
Vice-president William Lai, leading in opinion polls ahead of presidential elections in January, is despised by China for comments he has made in support of the island’s independence. Lai has said he does not seek to change the status quo or Taiwan’s name, which is formally the Republic of China. “So in fact, Taiwan is already sovereign and independent. If it is not sovereign and independent, how can there be a presidential election? Therefore, there is no need to declare Taiwan’s independence again,” he added.China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, which has frequently lambasted Lai as a separatist, did not answer calls seeking comment. China is marking a week-long holiday this week.
