democracy and freedom and Taiwan, which does so, will not be its enemy, former President Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) said on Sunday in Japan.
Lee made the remarks at a dinner gathering with Taiwanese expatriates in Okinawa, in which he said that Taiwan will someday present itself on world stage with its own name.

Lee said that China has become the “most destabilizing factor” in Asia and has caused disturbances that threaten the security of countries in the region.
