Taiwan President Lai Ching-te confirmed participation in the annual APEC leaders summit in China under an equal-basis framework on Thursday. The diplomatic engagement follows Taipei's demand for written guarantees from Beijing regarding fair treatment at the regional trade forum. China claims the self-governed island as its territory and maintains daily military patrols nearby while refusing direct communication with Lai.
