(CNA photo) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) Taiwan s de facto ambassador to Italy, Lee Sing-ying (李新穎), recently underlined the country s determination to maintain the status quo with China but said that it will not do so at the expense of its sovereignty, freedom, or democracy. On Jan. 23 and 24, Taiwan witnessed two of the largest Chinese incursions into its air defense identification zone (ADIZ) when the People s Liberation Army sent over a dozen military planes, including bombers, into the area. Experts suspected the move was primarily directed toward the U.S. after it had voiced support for Taiwan following President Joe Biden s inauguration.
