TAIPEI - Taiwan’s president rejected on Thursday a “one country, two systems” formula that Beijing has suggested could be used to unify the island and the mainland, saying such an arrangement had set Hong Kong “on the edge of disorder”.
Tsai, who is seeking re-election in January amid criticism of her policy towards China, referred to the arrangement for the return of the former British colony of Hong Kong to Chinese rule in 1997 as a failure. “China is still threatening to impose its ‘one country, two systems’ model for Taiwan. Their diplomatic offensives and military coercion pose a serious challenge to regional stability and peace,” Tsai said.
Taiwan’s National Day, marking the anniversary of the start of a 1911 uprising that led to the end of dynastic rule in China and the founding of a republic, was celebrated in Taipei with singing, dancing and parades. Tsai denies seeking independence and reiterated that she would not unilaterally change the status quo with China.Despite her assurances, Beijing has stepped up pressure on the island to seek “reunification” and backed up its warnings by flying regular bomber patrols around it.
Taiwan is free and proud. Why would the Taiwanese give up their freedom and kowtow to a barbaric regime.
Please take Hong Kong as an example FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong
At least Taiwan anti choosing RMB over freedom. Like nba, blizzard, Apple,
Absolutely right. Promise from CCP is totally cannot be trusted.
No one should believe in 'One Country Two Systems' after they saw what happened in Hong Kong.
Taiwanese are not interested at China’s stupid salve system.
She always makes clever decisions jealous of Taiwanese
One country two systems is doomed to fail under the China totalitarian regime antichinazi antitotalitarianism
Taiwan: Has 1c2s ever worked? CCP: Of course! See Tibet & Hong Kong r doing great now Taiwan: No thanks then
Hong Kong is an example for Taiwan. See what happen in HK under the policy of one country two system. We all know CCP.
hksummer2019 Now HongKong demonstrated one country two systems is failure due to totalitarianism CCP and puppet hk gov't. It proves democracy and freedom can not be existed in a totalitarianism gov't. HongKongers is facing threat to be indiscriminate attacked from Police like terrorist.
We Hong Kongers always say 'tomorrow's Taiwan will be like today's Hong Kong'. That's wise to reject PRC.
Hong Kong has proved to the world that one country two system is a big lie. And we have paid a huge price for testing it and still paying!
Don't become another Hong Kong
Agreed
Why should a old one listen to a young one? Taiwan is older than CCP. Get away, CCP. BoycottChina
Good job!
I love Taiwan 🇹🇼

Please stay firm and Taiwanese please vote wisely in 2020. One country two systems is just appearing in the textbook but not the reality. Look at HongKong now. What a joke !
Not one single word from CCP could be trusted. HK’s one country two system was dead and HK was at the verge of Xinjiang.
You can only use the same trick once. Be creative! Opps... sorry. I’ve forgotten that Chinese do not have creativity. They only COPY.
Support Taiwan 💪💪
Taiwan is independent forever
Hong Kong is the demonstration of one country, “two systems”. We only demonstrate once.
There is only one China and that is called Taiwan nowadays
Taiwan 😢
China is greedy and trying to invade other nations. Someone said searching History is fuckin funny. if you have been living in Taiwan and China, and! Learning about all their systems you'll find out they're really very different.Taiwan is democracy but China is fuckin communiSM
Go get your honey somewhere else!
Good👍
Taiwan is already a country, FULLSTOP.
Taiwan should stand tgt with Hong Kong, or else China will burn Taiwan in the next round. antichinazi
Why would you even surrender to CCP when you see what's going on in HongKong? The ideology & core values of Taiwanese/HongKongers & CCP Chinese just contradict with each other. We are all ethnically Chinese but it doesn't mean we have to kowtow to CCP.
So,this is what China has been thinking. When I proposed 'one country two nation system for Israel and Palestine, it was in consideration to how GOD WORKED IN ABRAHAM'S FAMILY,NOT GEOPOLITICS. OR HUMAN FACTORS. CHINA HAS THOUGHT WRONGLY. OR AN IDIOLOGY OF BROKEN VESSELS.
butterflyyanyan Smart. Hope Taiwan not become next Hong Kong.
Welcome ONE COUNTRY, ONE SYSTEM. 👌
'One country Two system is a lie' From Hongkongers standwithchina
As Hongkongers we shall be qualified to say that ‘one country two systems’ doesn’t work at all!
BalandoHK
'One country, two systems' has been proven as an utter failure for the freedom-loving people. Stand strong, Taiwan!
Let em be who they want to be. China, you already have it all, they aren’t you now or ever. Forget it.
Taiwan is actually the original Chinese gov system that was born in 1912 right after Qing Dynasty. It is still here and they have their own official Republic of China calendar as well.
The main lesson from the HK drama is that China is not sharing power. Hopefully the Taiwanese voter learned this lesson!
Smart move. Has not worked out well for hongkong MOFA_Taiwan is a free nation and proud people and must remain so. Their freedom is our freedom.
Interesting. Earlier this year I tweeted that trump would let Xi have a go at Taiwan, provided he’d be offered the right financial incentive. I meant it as satire, but maybe I was spot on. 🤔
If you have more than 5 brain cells, you would reject it!
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Yes .Taiwaan is one developed country ...this country is not attached with China ....I support Taiwaan one freedom country ..not attached chinese system..I support Taiwaan all people
