Taiwanese Minister Attends APEC in China
Taiwan's Minister of Labor, Hong Syu-han, participated in an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum event in Nanjing, China. This marks the first visit by a Taiwanese minister during President Lai Ching-te's administration, amid escalating Chinese military and political pressure on Taiwan. The participation occurred despite China's objections to the Taiwanese government and its refusal to engage in dialogue, as well as Beijing's disregard for Taipei's calls for talks, while its military continues nearly daily military operations around the island. Taiwan participates in APEC under the name "Chinese Taipei," whereas Beijing refers to it as "Taipei, China." China considers Taiwan a part of its territory, while Taiwan maintains that its people are the ones who decide the island's future.
