Taiwan: Voters Dismiss China Warnings/Threats and Re-Elect Ruling Party -William Lai Elected President in Historic Election

After Taiwan voters defy Beijings' bullies to elect 'dangerous separatist' as president, he declares: 'This shows the world how much we cherish democracy'

Daily Mail 14 JAN 2024

Lai Ching-te, of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), won the election. DPP wants to guide Taiwan away from totalitarianism and Beijings' influence

Tensions heightened last night between Taiwan and China after the man the Chinese have branded a dangerous separatist was elected Taiwan's new president.

Lai Ching-te, of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which wants to guide Taiwan away from Beijing's influence, had told voters before the polls opened that they faced a choice between democracy and totalitarianism.

'The whole world is watching,' he said in a rallying cry.

Later, in his victory speech, the former doctor said the island's voters had shown the world 'how much we cherish democracy'.

Beijings preferred candidate was Hou Yu-ih, from the opposition Kuomintang party, which wants closer ties to China.

Taiwans' 23 million people inhabit one of the world's most tense flashpoint areas.

There were fears last night that the election result will further raise tensions between the US and China as they compete for influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

Before the election, Beijing's defence ministry said the People's Liberation Army was 'on high alert at all times' and it would 'smash' any move towards independence.

Mr Lai said in his victory speech that he is 'determined to safeguard Taiwan from continuing threat and intimidation from China'.

But he added that his government will 'use dialogue to replace confrontation'.

This is the first time in the islands' 28-year democratic history that a party has won the presidency in three successive elections – an endorsement of DPP policies.
