'This should not create discomfort for other parties or become an excuse to deepen conflict,' says Taiwan Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Yui.
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan Vice President William Lai will stop in New York and San Francisco in the United States on his way to and from Paraguay for the inauguration of its new president, Taiwan’s presidential office said on Wednesday, August 2.without specifying details, drawing ire from Beijing, which slammed Lai as a separatist. The top US diplomat in Taipei urged China not to take “provocative” action in response to the brief visits, describing the transits as routine.
Lai, the front-runner for the island’s presidential vote in January, will stop in New York on August 12 on his way to Paraguay and in San Francisco on August 16 on his way back to Taiwan, the office said. “This should not create discomfort for other parties or become an excuse to deepen conflict,” Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Yui told the news conference at the Presidential Office.
Yui said the arrangement for the US transit was based on the principles of comfort, safety, convenience and dignity. China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, has stepped up military and political pressure over the past three years to push the island to accept Beijing’s sovereignty claims, which the government in Taipei strongly rejects.
