Taipei, June 3 (CNA) Vice President Lai Ching-te (賴清德), the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) presidential nominee, on Saturday accused China of trying to raise fear about a possible war in a bid to lead Taiwanese people to select a political party it favors, but his main opponent New Taipei City Mayor Hou Yu-ih (侯友宜) says it's the DPP that has brought Taiwan to the brink of war and vowed to lead Taiwanese people to pursue peace.
