Taiwan President Lai Ching-te on Tuesday called on the international community to take a common position against China’s Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law. The measure was promulgated last month, and Lai said other countries should respond in a coordinated way.
According to the report, Lai made the appeal in Taipei as attention remained focused on the new Chinese law. His remarks placed the issue in an international context, signaling that Taipei sees the legislation as going beyond a domestic legal change inside China.
The statement highlights Taiwan’s concern over policies introduced by Beijing and how they may affect broader regional and cross-strait dynamics. By urging a unified stance, Lai framed the response as a matter for the wider global community rather than for Taiwan alone.
The latest comments add to ongoing political friction between Taipei and Beijing. With the Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law now in effect after being announced last month, Taiwan’s leadership is seeking broader international attention to the issue.
