9 Haziran 2026Financial Times
  • Taiwan's opposition leader and KMT chair has urged both the US and China to refrain from using Taiwan as a pawn in their geopolitical strategies. In an interview with the Financial Times, she emphasized the importance of fostering dialogue between Taipei and Beijing.
  • This statement comes ahead of her upcoming visit to Washington, highlighting the delicate balance Taiwan must maintain in its international relations.
  • Taiwan has been at the center of escalating tensions between the US and China, with both nations vying for influence over the island. The KMT, traditionally seen as more pro-China compared to the ruling DPP, faces the challenge of appealing to a populace increasingly wary of Beijing's intentions.
  • The KMT chair's call for dialogue reflects a pragmatic approach to Taiwan's complex position in global politics. By advocating for communication with Beijing while addressing the concerns of the US, she aims to navigate the pressures from both sides.
