Washington. October 28. INTERFAX - Taiwan's chief of staff Tsai Ing-wen says that the threat from China is growing every day, and hopes for US support in the event of an attack by Beijing.

"The threat from China is growing every day," Tsai Ing-wen said in an interview with CNN.

According to her, she believes that if Taiwan is attacked by Beijing, the United States and other regional democracies will come to its aid, "given our long-term relationship with the United States."

"Taiwan is not alone, because we are a democracy, we respect freedom (...). And we share values with most countries in the region, and geographically we are of strategic importance," said the head of the Taiwanese administration.

In her opinion, the countries of the region are "interested" in ensuring the security of the island.

Tsei Ing-wen also noted that Taiwan is ready to conduct a dialogue with Beijing.

"This is the best way to avoid misunderstandings, miscalculations and misjudgments in managing cross-strait relations," she stressed.

"If we can sit down and talk about our differences and try to come to an agreement so that we can coexist peacefully. I think this is expected by our people here, and people in China, as well as people in the region," Tsei Yingwen added.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden said he did not want a "cold war" with China, but if Taiwan is attacked by China, the US is determined to stand up for it.

The Taiwan issue arose in 1949, when the Communist People's Republic of China was proclaimed, and part of the ruling Kuomintang Party settled on the island of Taiwan. Beijing insists on the "one China principle", according to which both the PRC and the Republic of China on Taiwan cannot be recognized at the same time.
