"Will Continue Life Of Freedom..." Lai Rejects China Rule, US-Taiwan Officials Held Secret Talks? Taiwan wants to continue its free way of life and rejects being ruled by China's Communist Party, Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said on Friday (August 23), visiting a frontline island between the two sides to mark a key battle with Chinese forces.On his first trip to Kinmen since assuming office in May, Lai laid a wreath and bowed his head in respect at a memorial park for the 66th anniversary of a clash with Chinese forces, known as the start of the second Taiwan Strait crisis."We are no longer trying to retake the mainland. But we are also unwilling to be ruled by the communist party. We want to continue a life of democracy, freedom, human rights and rule of law. Right?" Lai said while addressing veterans at a lunch.
