Since assuming his role as the Taiwan region's new leader, Lai Ching-te has stirred controversy with his recent speech advocating for Taiwan independence. Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, addressed the matter on Tuesday, describing Lai's remarks as provocative.
On Friday, a CGTN Stringer in the Taiwan region engaged with several local residents to gather their perspectives on Lai's speech and their hopes for future cross-Strait relations. The feedback highlights a mix of concerns and aspirations among the community regarding the evolving political landscape.
As discussions continue, the impact of Lai's leadership and his stance on independence remain pivotal topics shaping the future of cross-Strait dynamics.
