Taiwan won’t give up its way of life under pressure, president says

TAIPEI, MAY 17: Taiwan will not give up its “national sovereignty and dignity” nor its democratic and free way of life, and will absolutely not be sacrificed or traded away, President Lai Ching-te told on Sunday.

Lai made the comments responding to what he said was concern about comments over Taiwan at last week’s meeting in Beijing between US President Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping.
