Taiwan vows to “never back down” in the face of growing threats from China

Taiwan will “never back down” in the face of growing threats from China, according to the Vice-President of the self-governing democracy.
Our US Correspondent Benji Hyer reports that whilst transiting through the United States, William Lai, a front-runner in the territory’s Presidential race, said Taiwan “absolutely will not be scared nor cower.” He was making a stop in New York en route to Paraguay, where he’s attending the inauguration of the South American country’s newly-elected leader.
