YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen Taiwanese voters pick a new president Saturday their ballot will represent another choice of global significance: Forging closer ties with China or defending the island’s autonomy with Washington’s backing.
The closely fought, three-way contest to succeed President Tsai Ing-wen, who is stepping down due to term limits, marks the world’s first major test of democracy in 2024. This year will see the governments of more than 3 billion people face some 40 elections.
Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party, reviled by China but friendly with the US, faces the opposition Kuomintang and the more recently formed Taiwan People’s Party. Both of the latter favor closer ties with China, which claims Taiwan as its territory.
