Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe vowed on Friday that he would not “tolerate” any challenge to Japanese control over the contested Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台), which are called the Senkakus in Japan and are also claimed by Taiwan, after China’s growing incursions into the area.

Taiwan hopes to join like-minded nations under the democratic umbrella and jointly counter authoritarian aggression, President William Lai (賴清德) said in a prerecorded speech during the annual Concordia Summit in New York on Tuesday.

Lai addressed the summit via video at Concordia’s invitation, using the opportunity to speak on the issue of Chinese aggression toward Taiwan and Beijing’s distortion of UN Resolution 2758.

Lai’s comments came on the heels of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, which opened on Tuesday.
