Taiwan celebrates its National Day today. China regards the island state as its own province and wants to strengthen its control there. Today’s celebration is a display of the country’s independence. – There is broad consensus among the Taiwanese and our various political parties that we must defend our national sovereignty and our free and democratic way of life, said the president. Taiwanese fear they may suffer the same fate as Hong Kong, where democratic rights have disappeared after Beijing imposed a security law. – We will not make any compromises on freedom and democracy, said Tsai in a speech to the nation. – There is broad consensus among the Taiwanese and our various political parties that we must defend our national sovereignty and our free and democratic way of life, said the president.

This means that Hong Kong should have a high degree of self-government, its own system of governance, legislation and currency. While Mainland China is governed by the Communist Party which is not elected, Hong Kong has a kind of democracy. In the years since the former British colony was returned to China, democracy has been steadily curtailed. After several years of large pro-democracy protests, in 2020 China introduced a security law. The law limits the right to say what one wants and to demonstrate with justification in the fight against terrorism and national security. People in Taiwan fear they will suffer the same fate. – We never give up on democracy, President Tsai said today. Military threats China recently conducted military exercises in the Taiwan Strait. The exercise in August this year was the largest ever, ballistic missiles were fired near Taiwan. There was a fear that an accident in the exercise could start a war between the two countries.

She added that the island has strengthened its defense capabilities, that it has increased the production of missiles and mobile precision weapons and of naval vessels. US ally China’s show of force in the Taiwan Strait in August came the day after Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan. The visit of the American politician marked the US’s support for the island state. Taiwan has a strategically important position for Americans and it is important for the US that it is not controlled by China.

China immediately responded that “no one should underestimate the determination, will and ability of the Chinese people to defend our national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said in a statement. Biden’s statement was later modified by White House sources. Taiwan and China have been separated since the Communist Party took over control of the mainland in 1949. Norway, the UN and the vast majority of the world’s countries relate to this “one China principle”, that is, only the authorities in Beijing represent China , and that there is only one China.
