Taiwan’s president pushes economic ties with democracies, citing U.S. cooperation on tech and supply chains, while China rejects dialogue.
Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te said the island should strengthen economic ties with democracies like the U.S., Japan, and European nations, highlighting progress in U.S.-Taiwan cooperation on AI, semiconductors, and critical minerals.
At a high-level forum, both sides signed agreements on economic security and the Pax Silica Declaration, a U.S.-led initiative to bolster tech supply chains amid competition with China.
Lai credited the DPP’s policies for stronger economic growth compared to previous KMT-led governments that pursued closer ties with Beijing.
Meanwhile, a senior KMT official attended a Beijing think-tank meeting focused on AI and tourism, calling for cross-strait economic cooperation.
China continues to reject dialogue with Lai, labeling him a separatist, while he reaffirmed Taiwan’s right to determine its own future and offered talks with Beijing on equal terms.
