President Tsai Ing-wen Wednesday as a “pragmatic and reasonable leader” and said Beijing should take more responsibility for the stalemate in cross-Taiwan Strait relations.
AIT Chairman James Moriarty told CNA that no one in Washington blames Taiwan for the lack of cross-strait dialogue.
“We are encouraged every time we see Taiwan try to reach out to the Mainland, we do think that’s an ongoing process. But there has to be a response and understanding,” he said when asked to give suggestions on how to resume cross-strait official talks.
“I have found President Tsai to be a very pragmatic and reasonable leader. I think she has tried to reach out to the Mainland, I don’t think people in Washington are blaming the lack of dialogue on President Tsai,” he added. [FULL STORY]
