Taiwan's President, Lai Ching-te, declared that Taiwan will not be "sacrificed" and will not become the subject of negotiations, emphasizing that the country will not give up its democratic and free way of life under pressure.

In a Facebook post, Lai said that US arms sales to Taiwan are part of a legally mandated commitment by Washington to the island's security.

This was the Taiwanese president's first direct reaction after the summit held last week in Beijing between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Trump's statements after the meeting have caused concern in Taiwan, as he said he was still considering approving new arms sales to the island and added that the US does not want Taiwan to declare independence relying on American support.

Lai said that Taiwanese citizens are concerned about the content of the Trump-Xi talks regarding the island's future, but thanked the US for its support for peace and stability in the region. He stressed that Taiwan will not provoke conflict, but neither will it give up its sovereignty, national dignity and democratic system.

"Taiwan will not be sacrificed and will not be the subject of negotiations under any circumstances," the Taiwanese president declared.

China continues to consider Taiwan part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to bring the island under Beijing's control.

Meanwhile, Taiwan considers itself a sovereign and democratic state.
