Taiwan Participates in APEC Summit, Seeks Written Guarantees from China
Taiwan is participating in this year's APEC summit in China on an equal basis, with President Lai Ching-te appointing Acer founder Stan Shih as envoy. Taiwan seeks a written guarantee from China to ensure equal, dignified, and secure participation. China maintains Taiwan's involvement follows the one-China principle and APEC rules, referring to Taiwan as 'Chinese Taipei.' Despite tense cross-strait relations and Beijing's refusal to engage with Lai, Taiwan continues its involvement in APEC meetings without incident.
