Last month, Taiwan called on its people to steer clear of any of China's events to mark the Sun anniversary, saying China had a distorted view of him and his legacy.

Beijing calls Mr. Sun a great national hero and patriot, as well as the forerunner of the 1949 communist revolution that forced the defeated Republic of China government to flee to Taiwan, where it remains to this day.

uncertain
Lai → upset → him
Mr. Lai says only Taiwan's people can decide their future.
asserted
