TAIPEI -- A Beijing-skeptical candidate running in Taiwan's presidential election said on Tuesday that while China has attempted to intervene in every vote on the island, this year's meddling has been the "most serious ever."
Lai Ching-te of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party said Beijing has resorted to tactics such as "military threats, economic coercion, cognitive warfare [and] misinformation."
