By Su Yung-yao and Lai Hsiao-tung / Staff reportersPresident Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday said that if re-elected, she would ensure the nation’s sovereignty and economic development, and take care of its people. In related news, 12 DPP legislative candidates yesterday registered to join the elections in New Taipei City. Taiwanese must not be intimidated by Beijing’s maneuvers to influence the elections, Yu said at the rally. In doing so, they would also express to the world that Taiwan is a sovereign and independent nation, Yu added. While Taiwanese could be strong enough to withstand threats from China, Haley’s remarks show that the US cares about Taiwan, Yu said.
