Taiwan’s president to deliver key speech for National Day
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te is set to deliver a key speech on Thursday as part of the self-ruled island’s National Day celebrations that is likely to elicit an angry response from China. Despite his stance on Taiwan’s sovereignty, Lai will likely use his National Day speech to “project predictability and pragmatism”, said Wen-Ti Sung, a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub.
