Taiwan’s Lai marks milestone with economic focus, China gap
Taiwan President Lai Ching-te marked his first anniversary in office by unveiling plans for a sovereign wealth fund and reiterating a NT$41 billion (US$1.36 billion) economic package to counter U.S. tariff impacts. Notably absent from his address was any mention of cross-strait relations with China, despite rising tensions. The strategic silence came days after former U.S. President Donald Trump praised a preliminary U.S.-China tariff agreement using language some interpreted as having implications for Taiwan’s status.
