In recent years, military aircraft and vessels from the other side of the Taiwan Strait have been increasingly active around the vicinity of Taiwan, not only impacting cross-strait relations but also threating peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. Your Holiness incisively observed that "between selfish indifference and violent protest there is always another possible option: that of dialogue." In terms of cross-strait relations, Taiwan will not act rashly, but nor will it bow to pressure. Military action will never be an option for resolving cross-strait differences, which can only be reconciled through dialogue.
