CHINA-TAIWAN

Addressing the DPP's National Congress on September 22, 2017, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said that Taiwan must find a new way of talking about China and the issues it poses. She said "Hatred or currying favor with China is not an honest way to respond to the rise of China and its rapid development." She also said the DPP must come up with a new way of responding to changes in the world, changes in the global economy, and changes in Taiwanese society. She had accordingly directed the party's think tank to begin discussing 12 issues, including national defense, international participation, regional security, cross-strait affairs and constitutional reform.  The DPP Congress additionally approved nomination measures for nationwide local elections next year, including the possibility of cooperating with Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je, a political independent but DPP ally.
