BEIJING – The president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, warns of the risk of “catastrophic” consequences deriving from a possible fall of the island at the hands of China, which claims it as part of its territory and has increased military pressure on Taipei.

The Countries, writes the president of the island in an article published in the magazine Foreign Affairs, “they should remember that if it were to fall, the consequences would be catastrophic for regional peace and the democratic alliance system. It would signal that in today’s global context of values, authoritarianism has the better of democracy.”
Taiwan, Tsai continues, does not seek military confrontation and wants peace, “but if democracy and lifestyle are threatened, it will do whatever it takes to defend itself”.
