Taiwan is not seeking war with China, defence minister says

Taiwanese Defence Minister Wellington Koo emphasized that Taiwan is not seeking war with Beijing but is focusing on building a multi-level defensive deterrence to complicate China's invasion plans. Amid increasing military and political pressure from China, Taiwan's strategy is to employ asymmetric warfare, making its forces more mobile and harder to target with vehicle-mounted missiles and drones. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te reiterated that Taiwan’s future should be decided by its people, rejecting Beijing’s sovereignty claims.
