Taiwan’s newly sworn-in president urged China to heal the wounds of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown and to cherish dissent.
Tsai Ing-wen, who has been in office for two weeks, said in a Facebook post that “as president, I don’t mean to criticize the political system on the other side of the strait. Instead, I’m willing to share, with heartfelt sincerity, Taiwan’s experience in democratization.”
