No matter how great \u200dthe threat of authoritarianism\u2063 is to Taiwan, we absolutely will not be scared nor cower,\u2064 we will uphold the values\u2064 of \u200bdemocracy and freedom.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">China \u2063has previously expressed its \u200dopposition to Lai&#8217;s visits, with \u2062the Chinese ambassador \u2063to the U.S. stating that preventing\u2064 Lai from visiting\u2063 America was \u200ca &#8220;priority&#8221; for the communist country. Lai&#8217;s stopover in New York was part of\u2064 his journey to Paraguay for the\u200b inauguration of its\u2064 new president.
