Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te arrived in Hawaii on Nov. 30, his first foreign visit since being elected, to promote “values-based diplomacy,” reiterating Taiwan’s commitment to peace amid China’s growing aggression in the region.
“Peace is priceless and war has no winner. We have to fight—fight together to prevent war,” Lai told allies during his two-day Hawaii stopover before traveling to Taiwan’s diplomatic allies of the Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, and Palau.
