TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — India-Taipei Association (ITA) Director-General Manharsinh Laxmanbhai Yadav praised deepening India-Taiwan relations during a celebration of India’s Republic Day on Monday (Jan. 22). Economic ties between India and Taiwan have grown rapidly, with bilateral trade reaching US$10.9 billion (NT$341.28 billion) in FY 2022-2023, Yadav said. India’s promising business environment has attracted multiple Taiwanese companies, he said.

On future bilateral relations, Yadav said, “Economic and people-to-people ties between India and Taiwan have all the right ingredients.” They are based on shared democratic values and have “unparalleled complementarities that can be leveraged,” he added.

He expressed confidence in a “prosperous and peaceful future” for India-Taiwan relations.

Meanwhile from Beijing:

China said on Wednesday (Jan. 17) that its threat of force to annex Taiwan is aimed at foreign interference and a small number of so-called “separatists,” according to Reuters.

China’s Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) Spokesperson Chen Binhua (陳斌華) said at a regular press briefing in Beijing the Taiwanese election results do not change the fact that the country is “Chinese” and will eventually be “reunified.”

He said the Taiwanese are “our flesh and blood,” but some have been “poisoned” by notions of independence and have a “biased understanding” of cross-strait relations and national identity.

The Taiwanese don't see it that way: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-r... Taiwan,see themselves as primarily Taiwanese.
