Legislator You Si-kun says although Taiwan can launch missiles that could reach Beijing, he hopes for peaceful cross-strait relations. You spoke on Tuesday, addressing his earlier warning that China should consider Taiwan’s counterattack abilities if Beijing launched an invasion.
You says Taiwan already has many of its domestically-produced medium-range cruise missiles, called “Yun Feng” or “Cloud Peak.” These missiles have the capability of reaching Beijing. He added that Taiwan needs to rally its forces like Ukraine in order to protect itself from China.
Still, You appealed for peace in the Taiwan Strait. He says happiness can only be achieved with peace.
You says Taiwan is a self-governing nation, although China’s leaders insist Beijing holds sovereignty over the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan. He adds Taiwan’s sovereignty is supported by its democracy and the Treaty of San Francisco, which terminated Japan’s claim to Taiwan after World War II.
