Leaders on both sides should use their wisdom and flexibility to aim for a winwin relationship. Tsai said her china policy is to maintain the status quo, noting that taiwan has been recently excluded from some international meetings, she asserted the island will not succumb to pressure from china. She added taiwan will not revert to the old path of conflict and confrontation. Tsai avoided mentioning the one china principle. Chinas Taiwan Affairs Office Released a statement in response.
