Taiwan President: China Too 'Overwhelmed' for Invasion Amid Internal Challenges

As Taiwan gears up for elections, President Tsai accuses China of unsuccessful interference attempts.

Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen believes China is too 'overwhelmed' by internal challenges to consider a major invasion of Taiwan.
China has increased military pressure against Taiwan over the past four years, leading to global concerns of a potential conflict.
Taiwan is currently in the midst of campaigning for presidential and parliamentary elections to be held on January 13, with the Democratic Progressive Party's Lai Ching-te, currently vice president, as the frontrunner.
President Tsai has accused China of attempting to interfere in Taiwan's elections, but believes their efforts are not particularly successful due to Taiwan's democratic system.
China's Taiwan Affairs Office has escalated its attacks on Lai and his running mate Hsiao Bi-khim, with a spokesperson stating that 'Taiwan independence means war.'
