Taiwan's president re-elected in landslide victory

Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has been re-elected in a landslide in a stern rebuke to China that could fuel further tension.

China claims Taiwan as its sacred territory, to be taken by force if needed, a threat President Xi Jinping reiterated a year ago while saying he preferred a peaceful solution. She added that Beijing needs to understand the will of Taiwan's people, and only Taiwan's people can decide its future, repeating her firm opposition to"one country, two systems".

Underscoring the scale of her victory, Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party also won a majority in parliament.The US, Taiwan's strongest international backer and main arms supplier, congratulated Tsai."The United States thanks President Tsai for her leadership in developing a strong partnership with the United States and applauds her commitment to maintaining cross-Strait stability in the face of unrelenting pressure," Pompeo said in a statement.

It looks like she was doing the 5DemandsNot1Less

China’s infiltration and influences in Taiwan for many years is a total failure. The pro-Beijing candidate, Han Guo Yu lost in the election. Taiwanese used their vote to say NO clearly to totalitarian China. TaiwanElection Taiwan2020 democracy Freedom HumanRights

Well done for Taiwanese to use their vote to safeguard their freedom and democracy !

AntiChinazi

The policy of TsaiIngwen in the last 4 years was significantly criticized. Her success clearly reflects the Taiwanese are dramatically outrageous to the oppression of China that they choose to vote for Tsai again.

Taiwan is not a part of CCPChina is the loud and clear message from this TaiwanElection

Voters have spoken.

Taiwanese have shown to the world freedom and democracy is more important than Chinese money CCP is bullying everywhere, the world should awake and stand up to CCP now

It’s pleased to see that the Taiwanese has used their vote to elect a president who dare to speak up against ccp and defend the dignity of Taiwan instead of a puppet from the ccp. Taiwanese has delivered a clear message to the world that they refused the interference of ccp

Taiwanese had made their choice. China was not welcomed

Congratulations, Taiwan! Taiwan people have clearly chosen their future with votes.

TaiwanElections proves that dictatorship is unwelcome. 1C2S is a lie. HongKong has clearly shown the results. Hong Kong's demand is for a true universal suffrage. This is also being implemented in the Sino-British joint statement. China has always refused.

Congratulations to Taiwan! The people of Taiwan use their votes to safeguard their democracy and freedom. Hope that the people of Hong Kong can safeguard Hong Kong by using votes one day, but not blood and human lives. TaiwanElection HongKongProtests
