TAIPEI (Reuters) – Taiwan’s ruling party’s presidential candidate Lai Ching-te said on Tuesday he would maintain the status quo if elected, and remain open to engagement with Beijing under the principle of equality and dignity.
Taiwan votes on Saturday for a new president and parliament, in a election that China, which views the island as its own territory despite the strong objections of Taipei’s government, has cast as a choice between war and peace.
