Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen called on China to jointly keep peace across the strait amid strained ties since she took office in May.
“China should recognize both sides share the responsibility to maintain peaceful and stable development,” Tsai said on Saturday in the first briefing with domestic and foreign media since her inauguration. “A communication mechanism has yet to be restored. We hope both sides can keep stability before considering a new view on dialogue,” she said.
