Taiwan appears determined to create an anti-Beijing alliance as Chinese state media warns of potential sanctions against US
Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen wants to create an alliance to defend "freedom, safety, human rights and democracy" in Asia, as the self-ruled island faces renewed pressure from neighboring China. Though she did not mention China explicitly in her speech, given at a security forum in Taipei, Tsai left little doubt over who she was referring to, saying Taiwan was at the forefront of "defending democracy from authoritarian aggression."
