Lai Ching-te of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is Taiwan's new president-elect, after a three-way election that will determine the self-ruled island's future stance towards China.
Since its founding in the 1980s as an alliance of underground dissident groups, the DPP has now secured a third term in the presidential office, a first in Taiwan's short democratic history.

when did the China youths become so pro China? It started from election of Trump , and then the trade and technology wars. then Ukraine and Palestine. China youths don't like what they see about America.
BRITISH FOREIGN MINISTER DAVID CAMERON Cameron congratulated Lai and the DPP on his win and said he hoped Taiwan and China would renew efforts to resolve their differences peacefully.
"The elections today are testament to Taiwan’s vibrant democracy," he said in a statement. "I hope that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will renew efforts to resolve differences peacefully through constructive dialogue, without the threat or use of force or coercion."
US officials have said that Washington will uphold its longstanding policy toward Taiwan no matter who takes on the top job. The Biden administration will dispatch an unofficial delegation – including former senior officials – to Taipei following the election in keeping with past practice, according to senior officials.
The delegation visit “will be a signal, a very symbolic way of supporting Taiwan,” said T.Y. Wang, a professor at Illinois State University.
The US House of Representatives advanced three bipartisan finance bills concerning Taiwan and mainland China on Friday, bringing legislation meant to bolster American support for the self-ruled island closer to becoming law. The first of the three, sponsored by California Republican Young Kim, supports including Taiwan as a member of the International Monetary Fund.
What is so surprising? U have the official agreement that says one China and Taiwan part of China and on the other hand politicians want to show their anti communist credentials. That is the story of America....not of China.
Sponsored by Pennsylvania Republican Dan Meuser, requires the US Treasury to push Beijing for greater transparency in its exchange rates at the IMF.
The first two bills passed the Republican-controlled House by voice vote, and Meuser’s bill passed 379-1. Now the bills must pass the full Democratic-controlled Senate before heading to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.
Wow 379-1. Thats why the two evils Xi & Putin able to unite both parties.
Speaking in support of Lucas’ bill, House Financial Services Committee chairman Patrick McHenry, a North Carolina Republican, said it would make China a “pariah in key organisations devoted to ensuring global economic stability”.
If the US effort succeeds, China would face exclusions similar to Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
Here’s How China Has Responded to Countries Congratulating Taiwan’s Election Winner
As global congratulations have poured in for Taiwan’s Lai Ching-te, also known as William Lai, after the Democratic Progressive Party’s presidential candidate emerged victorious in pivotal elections on Saturday, one unsurprising country is making its displeasure very clear.
China, which claims the self-governed island of Taiwan as part of its territory and insists that it will be brought under Beijing’s control, has long voiced its opposition to the pro-independence DPP and viewed Lai and his running mate Hsiao Bi-khim with deep apprehension and mistrust. Now, China is rebuking any nation that dares to pay respect to Lai for his victory—or even to Taiwan for its successful democratic process.
