A Local Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingtipsTAIPEI - Taiwan needs to work hard to"control its own destiny" and is determined to protect itself with its own defence programme, President Tsai Ing-wen will say in a major speech on Tuesday.

Tsai, who leaves office next year as she cannot stand again for president after two terms in power, has overseen a major military modernisation programme, including domestically-developed submarines, the first of which was unveiled last month.

Tsai's speech will come less than 100 days before Taiwan holds presidential and parliamentary elections in January.
