One of Taiwan’s most prominent China-friendly politicians was recalled as mayor of the self-ruled island’s third-largest city—the second electoral setback in less than six months for Taiwanese advocates of a more accommodating posture toward Beijing

The same man lost both times: The recalled mayor, Han Kuo-yu of the main opposition Nationalist Party, failed to unseat Taiwan’s incumbent leader, Tsai Ing-wen, in January’s presidential election. Now voters in the southern port city of Kaohsiung have passed a recall motion removing.

This is a clown from CCP which respect no promise he made to the Voters.

It is a good news for Taiwan

看完台蛙的评论,一度以为这个韩国瑜入党了。。。。。明明狗咬狗的事情搞得好像中共的金牌卧底被挖出了一样。。。。。。

This is a great time to see which is most important in Taiwan Taiwanese believe freedom is more important than economics tweetforTaiwan TaiwanCanHelp

StandWithHongKong and may GlorytoHongKong.

So proud of Taiwanese, they made the history. It’s the first time they recall the mayor.

The power of people in democratic nation

The people of Taiwan again showed their will to defend democracy and freedom.

Congratulations to Korea Fish on being elected as a Kaohsiung citizen!

As a mayor, he is supposed to be responsible to development of the city. However, he didn't ! Therefore, Taiwanese decided to force him to step down ! That's the value of democracy, hopefully, Hongkongers can do the same thing to CarrieLam on one day

This vote certainly means that Taiwaneses don't like CCP tyranny after seeing how they have used PoliceBrutality to suppress freedom in Hong Kong & killed our autonomy.

Han is another example that everything CCP touched has turned pear shaped -UN -WHO -World Bank -5G -China -Hong Kong -South China Sea -Mekong River -global public health -world economy

China mainland is so satisfied to see this result and ultimately doesn't need to care how KMT thinks when PLA liberates TW.

Finally,full dictatorship in Taiwan. No more American-style two party democracy.

China-friendly? Chinese people don't think so. Mr.Han as well as the whole KMT is the biggest obstacle for China mainland to liberate TW.

It's great Taiwanese made the right choice! HongKong is fighting!

Good to be alert to evil CCP’s penetration!

Although HanKuoyu is an incompetent mayor ever with cheating, his failure is lying on his connection with and as a puppet of evil CCP

Hope one day Hongkongers can vote out CarrieLam as well.

One day, the Taiwaneses can recall their president too. A great democratic improvement!

Mr. Han's loss of position definitely has less to do with his diffuse pro-mainland Chinese stance than his more specific performance in the long-term pro-localist city. And he may not even belong to the 'most China-friendly' politicians. This is a capricious and misleading title

Yes! fire whom worked for communist China!

Good or bad, time tells

I guess Taiwan wasn’t as keen in improvising it’s security and sovereignty for some $ as he was. Maybe he’ll have better luck running in China. I know a few that should join you DanielAndrewsMP, AngelaMerkel,...

The people of Taiwan surely executed their right per constitution.

Good. Well done, Taiwan!

民主只是面具和工具,掩盖不了民进党的卑劣手段。

Look at this, Victoria Australia Victoria

Han Kuo-yu wasn’t doing too badly actually. But China’s coercing tactics in Xinjiang and HK just scared the daylights out of the Taiwanese people completely.

zhu_zhina ”happy ending' of Han!

Yes!

Remind me again why the Taiwanese should be accommodating to Beijing.

Global media like yours must show the the fact in a new perspective. Taiwan is a democratic country. The mention of island is acceptable when describing its geographical landscape. How you present, matters. MOFA_Taiwan Taiwan_in_UK iingwen

Congratulations!

kmt always a loser party! chinese people are happy to hear the news of kmt reactionaries failure in taiwan! these guys cheat chinese people and reap lots of benefits! now china treat all taiwan people as enemy!

Good job Taiwan! The Taiwanese people have once again showed the world they don't want a CCP puppet to be their leader. A stunning number of 939,090 votes against Han Guoyu!

daaaaaamg

The brave Kaohsiung people created a new generation of Taiwan’s democratic spirit.👊

Your ONE view will add to 50 thousand. (Expected views = 50k Present views = 1k ) And that, too, in just '2 week' from today. So... Please...Please...Watch this once ❤❤ Help me win the COMPETITION (All I'm asking is few minutes of your time) 🙏

Finally,truth prevailed !This idiots won mayoral elections due to fake propaganda & fake news Supported & sponsored by CCP! realDonaldTrump beware! This coming USA Presidential election , CCP surely will influence those money thriving media to all out smeared campaign vs you!

Taiwan President Tsai failed in the 2012 election but she didn't give a sour word like Han Kuo-yu's. Instead she made a touching, impressive speech that helped motivate her team to beat Kuomintang once & again in the following two presidential elections.

Who cares about Taiwan now

Taiwan isn't an independent sovereign country

Taiwan is a part of China, not an independent country so...

Once again the headline is misleading, he was recalled mainly bc he went to run for higher office before finishing his term as mayor.

Congratulations! This is the victory of liberty!

Whatever upsets Beijing is worth doing

Liar of cheating money. Glad to know that.

Hong Kong passes China national anthem bill amid protests by democracy lawmakersHong Kong passed a bill on Thursday that would criminalise disrespect of China's national anthem, a move critics see as the latest sign of Beijing's tightening grip on the semi-autonomous city. It's like a religion where any criticism is interpreted as an attack. If this is the approach to everything, it will lead to some serious errors, mistakes & delays in dealing with big problems. That's human nature. Remove criticism, then you're left with YES people. Here we have to request morons to not disrespect the national anthem even in our own country. Democracy got for too cheap. rvaidya2000
