Speaking in front of the presidential office, Tsai said the strength of international support for Taiwan had reached an "unprecedented height". Differences between Taiwan and China must be resolved peacefully, and maintaining the status quo is "critical" to ensuring peace, she added, to a big round of applause.In the face of China's threats, Taiwan has been heartened by support from fellow democracies, especially the United States and its allies whose lawmakers and occasionally officials have flocked to Taipei, defying Chinese anger.
Beijing says Taiwan's government must accept that both China and Taiwan belong to "one China", which Tsai has refused to do.
