Lai, who takes over from President Tsai Ing-wen having served as her vice president for the past four years, will say that Taiwan will continue to be a promoter of regional peace and stability, the official said. In his speech, at the Japanese colonial-era presidential office in central Taipei, Lai will pledge to maintain the status quo with China “neither being overbearing nor self-effacing”, the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.

Taiwan has faced on-going pressure from China, including regular air force and navy activities close to the island, since January’s election victory by Lai.
