When it comes to China’s dominance, Taiwan’s President says there is “no room for compromise”

Tsai Ing-wen has made it clear that Taiwan is a self-ruled island and will not budge when it comes to its sovereignty.

But, she is willing to work with China to find a “mutually acceptable” way towards peace.

As million in Taiwan celebrated their national day, the President said the “consensus of the Taiwanese people is to defend a free and democratic way of life”

It comes as China continues to assert its dominance in the region, with intimidating military tactics and threats of “reunification.”

A prominent Taiwanese politician has warned if China invades Taiwan, many will die.
