“We express our regret and ask the other party to implement political reforms that have the population at the center, in addition to ceasing to suppress the democratic demands of the people, to whom it must return power as soon as possible,” said the Taiwanese government. it’s a statement.
Thus, the text has warned that Beijing is “deepening the contradictions of its own society” while “increasing the difficulty of carrying out a systematic reform.” “It is creating the risk of a conflict that affects the security and stability of the region,” he added.
