Lin said security was a subject for anyone.

Taiwan, according to the Taipei authorities, is already the Republic of China, an independent nation. After losing a civil conflict with Mao Zedong’s Communists, who established the People’s Republic of China, the Democratic state emigrated to Taiwan in 1949.
