How the protests in Hong Kong are impacting politics in Taiwan as it prepares to elect its president

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.

The world should see how terrible of CCP’s ignorance of human rights! If you let CCP grow, it will eventually corrupt your country by economic invasion and infiltration. Don’t trust any CCP sweet words! StandWithHongKong AnywherebutChina BoycottChina HongKongProtests China

Can’t be like HongKong? More like can’t be like Xinjiang.

厲害哦👍真是文明👍

Taiwan people voiced out and hope Hong Kong can enjoy universal suffrage soon

One country two system is a joke in Hong Kong 🇭🇰. The world is watching and people know the CCP is terrorist regime StandWithHongKong HongKongProtests

Now Taiwan voters have slammed the face of CCP that one country two systems is not a choice. In modern civilization, human rights and freedom weigh more than economic growth...

Freedom and democracy cannot be weighted. They are priceless. Congratulations to Taiwan for not selecting a China CCP puppet as president. StandWithHongKong 5DemandsNot1Less SanctionChinaCCP HongKongPoliceState

So glad that TsaiIngwen has won this election, Taiwan people give a clear message that they do not want to become another HongKong. Taiwan2020 StandwithHK

It could be stupid to vote a pro-Beijing candidate, such that they can never vote going onwards

The CCP DOESN'T even respect and recognise private property, assets and land can be confiscated and seized without due process, so WITHOUT political rights, there can be no such thing as economic freedom and stability. HongKong Taiwan

It takes a plane ticket from Taiwan to HongKong, and takes a vote from Taiwan to HK. Together we are in the FightForFreedom and democracy!

More than that, it is about the sovereignty! China is expanding their control to the world by their economic and political power. This is seriously invasive! China_is_terrorist SOSHK TaiwanVotes

lxxxtxx it is the right decision for Taiwan. don't trust CCP.

Happy to see Taiwanese do the right choice in the election. Keep you freedom and don’t let CCP control you. HongKong will not give out and need people around the world to support.

antichinazi

Taiwan will not become anther Hong Kong. They made their right choice. We hope we can fight for universal suffrage. FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong SOSHK FiveDemandsNotOneLess

Say no to CCP Say no to unification Say no to 1C2S

AntiChinazi

CCP_is_terrorist say no to CCPChina

Inaccurate to say that voting for Tsai is against economic stability. Economy has improved much during her rule in past 4 yrs. GDP growth of TW is the highest among 4 dragons. Voting for Han is to support integration with China at the expense of democracy, freedom & autonomy

jyphinhk7 And today Tsai Ing-wen (democracy) won

Hong Kong used to be a good example of international city, but under control of ccp, no one want to become HK. Sad to see this happened.

We fight together. Thanks Taiwan TaiwanVotes

Freedom over money, that’s Taiwanese answer. Very wise StandWithHongKong

Freedom is not free, but can never be bought by money. Taiwan has made the right choice. TaiwanElection Taiwan2020 China_is_terrorist chinazi

There’s no economic stability under CCP’s influence. There’ll only be economic manipulation and eventually political control by CCP, given the example of Hong Kong and countries who join ‘one belt one road’. Taiwan2020 TaiwanElection chinazi China_is_terrorist

Absolutely, Taiwan cannot become Hong Kong, but Hong Kong can become Taiwan!💛🙏💪 TaiwanElection FreeHongKong FightForFreedom

Indeed. TaiwanElection result show us: “Taiwanese really don’t want to become like HongKong, CCP.”

Agree. Can not be controlled by CCP. FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong

Great! Taiwanese are awaken!

“To the sake of unity, force is an option.” Said Xi Jinping. We hope Taiwanese will see “One Country Two Systems” is failed and Never trust CCP!

Taiwan please stay from ccp!!! Everyone please vote

HongKong demonstrated an example showing that political freedom and economic stability cannot be separated in civilized countries or cities.

shiroihamusan A girl this morning standing at a Railway Station in Zuoying, Taiwan: “I am a HongKonger. Please treasure your vote. We could only demonstrate once how important it is.” We all dont want to see Taiwan become Hong Kong. Glory to Taiwan. TaiwanElection Taiwan2020

Vote china out TaiwanElection StandwithHK

Be like Hong Kong or not, it's up to YOUR vote.

If the Democratic Party loses, Taiwan will become HongKong. No more next 4 years.

The five demands including the desire for real universal suffrage and democracy are what the people of Hong Kong are fighting for. Countless people risk their lives for that. Hope the people of Taiwan can make the right decision in voting. TaiwanElection HongKongProtests

Taiwan people, don't let CCP fools you and takes control of you. Vote for the Government which truly loves the place and its citizens!

How much economic stability Taiwan planning to get from China who is in a situation of mass bond defaults

China cannot give Taiwan a better economic growth, China itself is under terrible economic crisis

Taiwan cannot become like Hong Kong one country two systems is one of the most falsehood in the world

AnythingButChina

It took so many years & lives of Taiwanese to enjoy universal suffrage. Pls don't destroy it on the hand of 'Korean Fish'! StandWithHongKong antichinazi

Become HongKong = HongKongPoliceTerrorism

benedictrogers

Seems not easy to weigh but only freedom and human rights can guarantee citizens safe lives. Money cannot buy anyone democracy. Hope today Taiwanese vote the best! Also thanks for their supports standing with Hong Kong. We keep fighting against tyranny, FiveDemandsNotOneLess.

Hope Taiwanese can see HongKong as examples, and vote for the right candidate, but not wasting the precious chance of fair election! TaiwanElection StandWithHongKong

Hong Kong has demonstrated to Taiwan the brutal trampling of autonomy, freedoms, democracy, justice and human rights by the puppet leader and Hong Hong Police. Cherishing universal suffrage is critical for Taiwanese to protect their lives and home against China’s invasion.

China is the source of the problem

To be honest, economic stability is a fake picture. You can tell from Hong Kong that Communist China will slowly invade and take over control of companies, and left no rooms for local people in the management of the firms.

without political freedom , economic atability is just transient. HK is the best example. HK is no longer a safe place to live and to invest.

Yes to China! No to America!

Defend your Homeland, Don't let your enemy slip in, Taiwan.

JanetZephyr Hong Kong is the perfect example of '1 Country, 2 Systems' failure. Who would wanna rule by those uncivilised commies in China SMH

It’s mind blown that anyone will have a deal trade with chinazi or CCP U think u can reason a barbarian with words are deals? HK is a live example on how they destroyed 1 country 2 system by letting HKPoliceTerrorists do anything they want here. China_is_terrorist

Political freedom makes everything possible, including the growing economy. While under CCP, there is no bread or freedom.

Don't go the wrong way towards CCP. Don't become like Hong Kong. Taiwan can choose

Why so many news about China?Maybe this is love.

我支持你們不做中國人的自由,但是請離開中國領土

tengbiao So Taiwan can become a card of United States ?

FUCKCHIANA

The people of Taiwan have lived as a great free society for several decades. I hope that they continue to be a free and independent country.

Taiwan TaiwanElection

Hongkong3333333 From Hongkongers to Taiwanese friends: Please step over our corpse & walk out the path you want! Wish Taiwan can stay a free place, even if Hong Kong cannot...Hong Kong is the most concrete proof on the failure of one country, two systems...taiwan2020 TaiwanElection

That's what they said in Hong Kong too. But their policies don't meet their rhetoric. The HK government just spend massive amount of money building white elephant projects to give money to the Chinese construction firms instead of providing better hospitals, schools & welfare

The common CCP tactics! If Taiwan economic heavily rely on China, it would be disaster that China can shut you up !

The economy of chinazi is going down, so economic ties to the tyranny are nonsense!

Freedom is not free..Taiwanese had also been thru a tough fight and hopefully Taiwan can remain Taiwan instead of China

Something money can't buy Like freedom of speech

Please defend your country well Taiwanese. We have already shown you that CCP is never trustworthy. And I don't think we have a chance to show you that the second time.

CCP always think money is the most important in the world, and never understand why freedom and democracy is more important for free people

Taiwan brothers and sisters. Hope all of you go to vote tomorrow! TaiwanElection

Just look at this clip, you'll understand why the stock price of 1C2S is all time low HongKong is at stake, but at least we have to safeguard Taiwan from the dirty hand of CCP antichinazi AnywherebutChina

Human rights is most important. No China. China_is_terrorist antichinazi

The same tactic of ‘People’s livelihoods come first’ won’t work again, because people know once bitten, twice shy to CCP influence!

Say No to Fuxking China and CCP~! antichinazi BoycottChina

Today Hong Kong, tomorrow Taiwan

No china

Taiwan is a democray beacon of Asian on the blow of CCP socialism.

Hong Kong is under severe oppression of freedoms, human rights and is in the verge of Xinjiang. Taiwanese must stay strong to protect freedoms, democracy and say ‘No’ to China.

I agree. Taiwan don’t end up like Hong Kong

No doubt China has been moving on Taiwan, gathering islands & economic & political influence.

'No China' says the citizen of Republic Of China.

Vote iingwen 3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣3️⃣

JanetZephyr In addition to Taiwan's self factors, no doubt Hong Kong protest is one of factors to affect their election. Taiwan people could see how unbelievable of CCP, how worse if they take 1 country 2 systems! HK is a life example suffering from totalitarian. Be smart, Taiwanese.

Taiwanese must bear in mind the infiltration could cost them the entire country.

I don't get what they are protesting about. Do they want an independent free state?

This is also instigated by Korea! 'Korea' is a candidate!
