At a conference held Tuesday, April 30, Han laid his plan for the future of Taiwan, which included “to be rooted in Taiwan, to embrace China, to have an eye on the world, and to conquer the universe,” Taiwan News reported.
The president wrote on Facebook today, “I heard that some people want to conquer the universe.”
President Tsai, in turn pledged to cooperate with far away galaxies with shared ideals to maintain peace and stability.
“We bring service, not conquest: We are contributors to peace and happiness.” The president said. “We are absolutely not the intergalactic troublemakers.”
“May the Force be with you,” Tsai concluded.
