TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan has inaugurated Lai Ching-te as its a new president.
It took place in a ceremony Monday after he won an election earlier this year.
He is a relative moderate who will continue the self-governing island democracy’s policy of de facto independence while seeking to bolster its defenses against China.
