Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen urged Beijing to resume talks with Taipei to help maintain stability in the region in the face of renewed threats by Beijing to use force against Taiwan.
“War is never an option for solving a problem,” Tsai said in her New Year’s speech on Sunday. “Only by boosting stable development in the region together through dialogue and collaboration can we bring security and happiness to more people.”
“It is the common responsibilities of the two sides across the Taiwan Strait to maintain stability in the region,” she said.
