'Taiwan cannot become like Hong Kong.' In the coming presidential election, voters weigh economic stability and political freedom.

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan—Fallout from Hong Kong’s unrest is galvanizing resistance against China on another front: Taiwan.

Protests in Hong Kong against Beijing’s encroachment have inspired widespread sympathy across the self-ruling island of Taiwan, a longstanding subject of tension in the region that is both claimed by Beijing and supported by the U.S. with arms sales and unofficial political ties.

Taiwan government 🇹🇼 is undeserving to represent any Chinese person/people, as much as Jesus Christ is/was undeserving to be worshipped by any human beings. Those are all selfish lands and religions who only purpose to control and dictate what all others must do and believe!

The world should know 'No China'. Evil ccp try to take control of your country.

Taiwan people have a choice. Side with freedom you will have to work yourself. Side with oppression, you will have money and can replace Hong Kong.

Vote pro-CCP KMT out Taiwan 🇹🇼!

I hope Taiwanese will make a wise vote.. taiwanelection

This is the judgement of so called “one country two system” idea at Taiwan!

today's hing kong, tomorrow's taiwan. CCP would try to crackdown one by one and therefore Taiwanese must make a choice that could protect themselves

Taiwanese add oil 💪 Fight against CCP together

You could lose almost everything once you lose political freedom. There is no food safety, freedom of speech, human rights(and not to mention the animals) in China. I really love Taiwan🇹🇼 💕plz protect your next generation lovely Taiwanese🇭🇰🇹🇼💪🏻

Taiwan, don’t trade your freedom and democracy to money. You will regret to do so especially the one target you is CCP.

My fellow TW friends, please vote, it is the right from your previous generations who risked their lives and shed their blood and tears. HK is a perfect example of communist threat. It is almost impossible to regain the right for universal suffrage once it is lost.

Protect your country, Taiwanese!

“For the sake of unity, force is an option.” Said Xi Jinping. Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow Taiwan

Taiwanese are wise and they will use their vote to show their stance. If they still think that democracy is not important, then please take a look at this video: You want to join the dictator, or StandWithHongKong and FightForFreedom?

Theres no turning back if u voted for economic! Look at Hong Kong, look at what we suffered and how hard its been for us to get rid of ! StandWithHongKong

CCP demonstrated in HK how good they are at lying. They made empty promises to HKers “The one country two systems” for benefits. Years later, they break their promises & repress HKers who seek for the promised rights. Taiwanese are smart enough not to make a regrettable choice.

Over the past 6 months, we just showed how one country two system fails. Taiwanese please exercise your right to vote wisely🙏

In Hong Kong, it is so hard to fight for what you demand for. People have no choice on their govt so the govt will only focus to serve CCP. To Taiwanese: it is fine whoever you vote for. But it does matter you have voiced out by your vote.

The past half year, Hong Kong proved that 'one country two system' is just a lie, never believe in CCP, do not let Taiwan become another Hong Kong antichinazi

No China. No CCP. Support Taiwan Taiwan2020 TaiwanElection CCP_is_terrorist

Don't be the next Hong Kong! Money is important but Freedom is essential and it can ensure your money is yours.

Taiwanese have to vote for freedom and right of speech. 1 country 2 system is a lie and CCP had voided the Sino-British Joint Declaration. The following clip shows the different of what is happening in HK and Taiwan nowadays.

The difference between Taiwan and Hong Kong is measured by Taiwan citiznes' votes on 11 Jan 2020. Regardless of what the public polling opinion says, Taiwan citizens must vote on 11 Jan to defend their valuable freedom. after 38 years of martial law which ended in 1987.

for those who still vote to pro-china politicians in Taiwan after 7 months of protest in HK - STUPID!

Hopefully the Taiwanese people will vote wisely and choose a govt that can protect their freedom. Hong Kong is a good example of what life is like under communist dictatorship hongkongpolicestate antichinazi

Yesterday Xinjiang. Today Hong Kong. Future Taiwan. Taiwanese voters please say no to communism and totalitarianism!!!! FightForFreedom

Don't financially support mainland China. Don't pay to China. Please impose sanctions on the People's Republic of China. People's Republic of China still dominates mainland China in a dictatorship. Mainland China's election system is very form.

Please defend your country well Taiwanese. We have shown a good example of how bad the 'One country, Two systems' is.

Voting the pro-🇨🇳 KMT candidate = sacrificing future of the next generations. Let’s see if selfishness wins. TaiwanElection

Hong Kong is the clearest example of what totalitarianism can do to freedom & HumanRights If Taiwanese want to -preserve its democratic freedom & way of life -avoid becoming another Hong Kong then they must vote for President Tsai TaiwanElection

Please look at Hong Kong and consider carefully who you should vote in order to protect Taiwan.

lstp0321 If pro-CCP candidate win the election, Taiwan may no longer be free as usual as before.

China has been spreading hoax messages over social media, attempting to swing the vote of the Presidential election in Taiwan. Hope Taiwan people need to caution the CCP invasion ans pick the right one.🙏🏼

HK is a showcase of “one country two systems”. Taiwanese please treasure your hard fought democracy and freedom, say NO to Chinazi

China always turn the every problem into autonomy vs money And in face of their massive economic pressure, many will choose money over autonomy Taiwan must recognise all the mistakes made by others and save itself from China

Never trust the China Communist Party

hins9411 There’s ONLY ONE country ONE system in the eye of ccp. They have ZERO TOLERANCE towards any OPPOSITE VOICES. 🇭🇰 demonstrates ONCE ONLY. Let TW be TW.

I believe that friends in Taiwan can choose a president that can make Taiwan strong. I also hope that countries can recognize Taiwan as a country and not a part of China. TaiwanElection

China wants Taiwan so badly & plans to adopt “1 country 2 systems” framework to Taiwanese but tbh CCP WONT GIVE any autonomy to 🇹🇼 Xinjiang & HongKong are the living proofs showing if voters don’t pick one stand firm towards CCP the Liar.

‘One Country, Two Systems’ is a purely academic argument but not a practical solution to Hong Kong!

Freedom loving Taiwanese, your vote affects not just yourself but future generations' freedom, dignity and safety. Cast your vote wisely for a candidate who always stands up to the bully called CCPChina. TaiwanElection Taiwan2020

Hong Kongers weighed political freedom much more than economic stability & had elected any one but those pro-Beijing candidates in the recent District Council Election. Will Taiwanese do the same? Will they choose to work under tyranny?

People always saying today's HongKong, tomorrow's Taiwan. The election in 2020 is very crucial for Taiwan; could they remain separate from CCP or build a closer relationship with CCP.

The economy is something you can work on anytime. Freedom hardly comes back once it's lost. Vote wisely.

Please be wise, dont be next hong kong StandWithHongKong china_is_terrorist

To all Taiwanese voters: please cherish your vote and safeguard your home from China. FightForFreedom

'Taiwan cannot become like Hong Kong.'!!

Taiwan cannot become like Hong Kong. It is hard to have freedom again when you lose it.🙏 Taiwanese please voice out and stand for your own😢

Hong Kong is showing that “One Country, Two System” is not working under CCP dictatorship. Taiwanese, please vote wisely on Jan 11.

It's easy to understand why Taiwan cannot/ wouldn't want to become like Hong Kong where freedom, justice & rule of law are encroached by Communist China, which is the biggest surveillance state in the world, and is spreading its totalitarianism worldwide. StandWithHongKong

No Korean Fish!

This may be a false proposition after all. Becoming more economical dependent on Communist China does not only cost freedom, but actually leads to economical invasion too. Taking Hong Kong as example, there are not much room left for the locals these years. Better think twice.

With Xinjiang and Hong Kong as examples, Taiwanese should know CCP is never trustworthy Hope they can really cherish the opportunity to vote, and think twice before voting

StandWithHK

Today HongKong . Tomorrow Taiwan . You have a vote to change your home. TaiwanElection

Say no to China. Taiwan is the only place left that give birth to civilized Chinese that embraces universal core values. Hong Kong was once a place like that, but CCP oppress Hong Kong and infiltrate in many diff ways.

antichinazi china

Taiwanese voters must say “No” to China in view of the situations of Hong Kong. China tramples autonomy & justice, oppresses freedoms & human rights of Hong Kong by unlimited escalation of police brutality.

thanks to the cruelness and incompetence displayed by beijing & CarrieLam gov't , HongKong's terrible situation is making a huge impression in the minds of the Taiwanese, hugely increasing the difficulty of beijing's objective of 'unification'. TaiwanElection antichinazi

So true! Economic gain cannot compensate for loss of freedom! Hong Kong has been very wrong to rely too much on China trade that we are tightly controlled by evil CCP! Don’t make the same mistakes!

Freedom is not free. Hong Kong people risks their lives showing 'one country, two systems' doesn't work. Hope Taiwanese keep it in mind and not to give their land to CCPChina

I urge all the voter of Taiwan never trust CCP, say no to unification, say no to 1C2S.

Friends from Taiwan, please defend your country by voting!

Taiwanese must voting to stand with their freedom, rather than using blood or lives to exchange.

Although HongKong shows how bad the one country two systems, Taiwanese mainly concern Tsai ing-wen did in past 4 years.

HongKong should become like Taiwan!

Keep Taiwan Taiwan Don’t become a China city

For sure - and Taiwan should not allow CCP to abuse the freedom of speech in Taiwan to win the disinformation war. All the blood shed in HongKong is a real example of the consequences of appeasing China - a dead end.

Only if all Taiwanese vote, especially the young generation. If they give up their right to vote, they also give up the right to live in a better future coz TW will become another HK, losing her uniqueness and being controlled by China if Han wins.

But like what happened in Hong Kong, China extended its arms trying to affect the election antichinazi

Taiwanese fighting.💛 enjoy your right to vote your own president

Hong Kong never stop until five demands is answered which is the basic we should have! The government suppressed the public voice in the past few month. The citizen never give up for fighting freedom! No rioter, only tyranny !please StandWithHongKong

Say no to CCPChina and chinazi !

Fully understood how tough the young Taiwanese are facing: less salary, higher rent - no big signals to change. But Hong Kong is a typical example to tell 🇹🇼 : never trust 🇨🇳. 🇨🇳 may give money, but cannot give you freedom and human rights. Hope they vote right for right!

God bless Taiwan, please vote to safe guard Taiwan! TaiwanElection chinazi
