Taiwan president says China's 'strong rise' is greatest challenge

The Hindu  

President Lai Ching-te warned cadets of Taiwan's military academy on Sunday that their biggest challenge was "the strong rise of China", which he said regards the "elimination" of the self-ruled island as a national cause. Speaking Sunday at the centennial anniversary of the founding of Taiwan's Whampoa military academy, Mr. Lai said teachers and cadets must recognise "the challenges and missions of the new era". Mr. Lai is regarded as a "dangerous separatist" by China, which said before the launch of war games in May that his inaugural speech was akin to a "confession of Taiwan independence". Like his predecessor Tsai Ing-wen, Mr. Lai maintains that Taiwan does not need to have a formal declaration of independence – a redline for China – as it is "already independent".
