TAIPEI -- Xi Jinping's rule over China will not last forever, and there should be hopes that universal values and soft power will eventually bring China into the world of democracy, a Taiwanese presidential candidate said Thursday during a visit to Tokyo.
"If we believe in universal values, then why do we think China will never have democracy and freedom?" Ko Wen-je, nominee for the Taiwan's People's Party (TPP) for the January 2024 presidential election, told the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan.
