Supporters of rapprochement with China win local elections in Taiwan

After Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was defeated in local elections on Saturday, Nov.

The American edition recalls that the main opposition party, the Kuomintang, won in 13 of the country's 21 administrative divisions. At the same time, this political force has already defeated the DPP in the municipal elections in 2018, but has not been able to win the presidency in 2020.



Now the Kuomintang has a chance to compete again for the leadership of Taiwan in 2024.

The people of Taiwan gave us the opportunity. Selflessness is the Kuomintang's only chance to win the 2024 elections

- quotes the edition of the words of the chairman of the winning party Zhu Lilun.

At the same time, President Tsai Ing-wen has decided to step down as head of the Democratic Progressive Party after the defeat of her political force in the municipal elections.

According to CNBC, the Kuomintang traditionally advocates close ties with China, but categorically denies its "pro-Beijing" position. Members of the opposition party are extremely outraged by accusations that they are allegedly ready to "sell" Taiwan to China or are not committed to democracy. At the same time, they accuse the DPP of deliberately fomenting a confrontation with Beijing for political gain.

The report also said Saturday's election turnout was at an all-time low of just 59% for Taiwan's six most important cities, down from about 75% in 2020.

    Sooner or later, it will go to China (China is collecting its territory). Loyalty of the future government. Yes, and Beijing is better not with a destroyed Taiwan, but with working production. Is it a joke that 40 percent of the world's microchips are at stake.

      Now the US will accelerate, because the further, the more likely a peaceful reunification with mainland China. Namely, this is what mattress covers do not want to allow.

      The first "swallow" of the NWO .. The anti-Russian propaganda of the world media (owned by citizens of the United States and Britain) did its job - the islanders really did not like the shots with the ruins of the outskirts of cities

    Here our sinologists in VO should say the word. What is in free access, the Gamindan Party is for the unification of China, but the Gamindan is in leading and guiding roles. As if the great helmsman Mao and Chiang Kai-shek are not brothers at all.

      Yes, both parties are very radical towards the PRC. The Kuomintang rejects the independence of the PRC and claims all of mainland China as its territory, while the losing party supported the independence of both Taiwan and the PRC.

    Here the butterfly flew,
    Wings waved,
    The sea began to fade -
    And it went out
    Not quite kanesh, but the process has begun ..

    The PRC has significant positive experience with the so-called. "Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China Hong Kong" in which the communist ideas of the mainland and the capitalist island coexist perfectly. Hong Kong stopped spending money on defense from the PRC and, in addition, got the opportunity to work with Chinese industrial and financial resources of the PRC. The peaceful annexation of Taiwan on the same "Hong Kong" rights will give both parts of China a huge additional financial and industrial impetus.
    It will be bad only for some politicians bought and lured by the Americans from Taipei.
    And, of course, the United States will become worse, because. chip production will come under almost complete Chinese control.

      The entire PRC is capitalist, and the PRC destroyed all democracy in Hong Kong with dichlorvos, we recall the protests when the inhabitants tried to interfere, but achieved nothing. Just such an accession showed that the PRC absolutely does not intend to comply with any agreements with such parts regarding political and other autonomy.

        Well, this is natural, viable agreements are possible only between equals, or in the presence of a third force that can influence both parties.
        In all other cases, the strong subjugate or absorb the weak.

        We destroy the evil trap of the Anglo-Saxons and eliminate the pollution of the Anglo-Saxons. Not the destruction of our own cities and lives.

    Long live the Revolutionary Kuomintang! Glory to Comrade Chiang Kai-shek!
    These elections, with the skillful use of their results, will help reduce tensions in the region.

    And I don’t think anyone will shoot at these factories ... But on the other hand, it’s also impossible to drag out the connection indefinitely:
    and it is unprofitable for Russia (our processors are now covered there).

    The people of Taiwan are so fed up with the hysteria of American puppets that they just want to see the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait return to the way it used to be.
