Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said today that the Economist report said Taiwan is the “most dangerous place on earth”, although China’s threat to Taiwan does exist, but the government is absolutely capable of managing all possible risks and building a security barrier for Taiwan.
According to a report by the Central News Agency today, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said on the 30th that the Economist reported that Taiwan is the “most dangerous place on earth” and that although the threat from China to Taiwan does exist, the government is absolutely capable of building a security barrier for Taiwan.
The Economist used a radar map of Taiwan as its cover, with the Chinese Communist Party’s five-star flag on the left and the U.S. Stars and Stripes on the right, as well as naval ships and military aircraft, calling it “the most dangerous place on earth” and saying that a war in the Taiwan Strait would be a disaster, and that the U.S. and China must do their utmost to avoid it.
The President of Taiwan pointed out in a Facebook post in the evening that the cover story of the latest issue of The Economist mentioned that Taiwan is “the most dangerous place on earth”, causing much discussion on Taiwan’s security issues. President Tsai Ing-wen said the report highlights the threat of China’s military expansion to the Taiwan Strait and neighboring regions, and hoped that the Beijing authorities would understand that the PLA’s relevant actions completely contradict its political declaration of “peaceful rise” and make the international community more and more suspicious.

The president said that over the past few years, she has kept abreast of the changing trends in the international supply chain, strengthened Taiwan’s links with the international economy and international security, actively strengthened national defense, especially asymmetric warfare, and fulfilled her international responsibilities to maintain regional peace and stability. Taiwan is recognized internationally as a responsible and benevolent force in the Indo-Pacific region.
The president said that Taiwan is located at the front edge of democracy and facing the challenge of authoritarian expansion, but as long as the people of Taiwan are united, judge the situation carefully and adhere to the values of democracy and freedom, they can definitely overcome the challenge.
The Central News Agency said President Tsai Ing-wen expects that countries around the world that care about democracy and freedom, now that they see the potential risks, should work together to maintain peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.
