Leading Taiwan presidential candidate William Lai wrote in the Wall Street Journal that he could keep the peace with China if elected, reiterating his willingness for talks without preconditions and a pledge to boost defenses
Lai, Taiwan's vice president and the candidate for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party , has consistently led the majority of opinion polls ahead of the January election. President Tsai Ing-wen cannot run again after two terms in office.
"I will support the cross-strait status quo - which is in the best interests of both the Republic of China, as Taiwan is formally known, and the international community. I will never rule out the possibility of dialogue without preconditions, based on the principles of reciprocity and dignity," he added.
"I will seek greater cooperation with partners and allies, particularly in training, force restructuring, civil defence and information sharing," he wrote.
