- Taiwan is preparing for its presidential election, and there is a lot at stake at the ballot box.
China has warned voters in Taiwan to make the right choice when voters elect a new president.
A win for William Lai, the leading and ruling party candidate, would - according to Beijing - endanger the island's relationship with China.
Jeff Semple looks at how the vote could affect Taiwan's future and the fears of a possible military conflict.

What election in China?
Winnie the Pooh is gonna regret invading taiwan😂😂😂
I'm gonna guess most Taiwanese want to continue to live in a country with greater individual liberties.
Only 10 or so percent of the island population is Taiwanese. Learn some history. The majority of the Islands population is Chinese. That is why it is called the Republic of China and not the Republic of Taiwan.
DPP has won. 🇹🇼 Putin achieved what the US could never have achieved, unity and a new common enemy…. Autocracy.
Asian democratic powerhouses are now cooperating with western economic powerhouses. The political model and values of the people are part of the reason why countries align. Since the invasion of Ukraine, political cooperation between democracies are more important than ever before. 🇯🇵 🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🇰🇷 🇦🇺 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇮🇳.
Let’s not forget the Free Hong Kong that was only a few years ago
To give some context, the percentage of Taiwanese who support unification is less than 10%. That’s less than half the percentage of collaborators in the West who support the CCP which is at 20%.
Regardless of how many people support "unification," the ROC lost its de jure sovereignty after the UN vote on Oct 25th 1971. Before that, the ROC was a de jure country who had legal authority of all of China (including the mainland and Formosa/PKM). After the UN 2758 vote on Oct 25th 1971 (thanks to Kissinger who screwed the ROC), the ROC's de jure status was transferred to the PRC. One China status has never changed and until the ROC/Taiwan declares independence, the ROC will also be part of One China whether you like/admit it or not.
@@Audittheauditors2 it doesn’t matter whether Taiwan is part of China or not. The only thing that matters is next to nobody in Taiwan wants to be under communist rule. The only ones who do are Beijing’s collaborators in the West and their paid proxies in Taiwan, probably such as people like yourself
@@jeffchun Whether you want to be under communist rule or not doesn't change the facts lol. Just because you don't like a certain political party (Liberals/Conservatives/NDP/whatever else), it still doesn't change your nationality. Understanding this simple logic doesn't make you a "Beijing collaborator" lmao
@@jeffchun What you need to understand is, for the PRC, it doesn't matter what happens on this Saturday. As far as the PRC is concerned, the ROC, or TAIWAN, or whatever you want to call it, is a "separatist region" like Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts of Ukraine. It is because the US gave the legal ruling authority of One China from the ROC away to the PRC on July 10th 1971 whether you admit/like it or not. Until the ROC, Taiwan, Free China, Formosa, or whatever you want to call this place declares independence, it is still under the One China umbrella as per both One China Policy and One China Principle.
Most people in Taiwan simply don't have a clue about the whole PRC/US issue. Essentially, the PRC wants the US to fulfill the promise Kissinger made in 1971, while the US won't allow it because now the US sees the PLA as its #1 national security threat. What you don't understand is the objective for the US has changed over time. The PLA was no match for the US military decades ago during the unipolar world, that's why the US was not concerned about the rise of the PRC. Instead, it welcomed the rise of the PRC as the US benefited from cheap labour. This is also why the US has always snubbed the sovereignty of the ROC since 1971. In 2023, it is a very different situation. There is even a term for it called the "Thucydides Trap." In order for the US to maintain military primacy and world dominance, the US has to do something before the PLA catches up or even surpass US military capabilities. That is why the US is now aggressively supporting the ROC's "self-determination." Why? The US wants to use countries in the first island chain as cannon fodders to defend US national security interests, while they continue to use the DPP to provoke the PRC. The more Taiwanese doesn't understand the real problem, the closer the ROC will be on a path to war.
@@Audittheauditors2 the ROC and PRC are separate nationalities as they have totally different passports. The ROC can’t be the separatists when it was the PRC who were the rebels. The U.S. has never recognized Beijing’s claim over Taiwan. The only thing you know is that you know nothing.
Chinese coercion and intimidation tactic won't deter Taiwanese 🇹🇼 strong will for freedom
- Beyond that, China is a paper tiger.
China will definitely get back its own territory. As for the people living in Taiwan who do not recognize themselves as Chinese, they can emigrate to Mars or Palestine. Reunification of Taiwan is the firm will of 1.4 billion people.
Most of the Taiwanese folks who want Taiwan to fight against China are the ones who and their families live comfortably in developed countries and they do need to serve the military.
you're right about being the last chang.
you not seen the results in Ukraine. one country Russia vs. 30 plus countries, and still they cannot beat Russia. who exactly is the paper tiger?
Against the ROC
It doesn't matter how many times the Chinese regime repeats the *lies,*
or how *angry* it pretends to be,
- Taiwan 🇹🇼 is still an independent country.
Clearly Canada, which Global News is from, doesn't think so.
Why don't you tell us on what date did "Taiwan" declare its "independence" ? 🤣
@@Audittheauditors2 since 1911.
@@RichardLin-fo3zz That's gotta be the worst response ever. 1911 was the Wuhan uprising. In 1911 "Taiwan" was still under the rule of Imperial Japan. Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
The deliberate use of the word "regime". Hmm, I wonder where I've seen that before.
Money for fake drill but no money for real food
Be mindful that in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan and war ensues, the Taiwanese people's resentment towards China will significantly escalate. The loss of fathers, sons, brothers, and friends on the frontline defending Taiwan's democracy will deepen their aversion and anger towards China. Taiwan, having cherished freedom through democracy, will staunchly resist falling under the rule of an autocratic communist government dictatorship. Unless China addresses this dispute by acknowledging the respect due for Taiwan, the war is likely to be protracted with unimaginable casualties.
America is all Indigenous people L A N D not forgetting Slavery, That's History.
last time I checked water is not flammable
Long live the free and democratic country of Taiwan ❤🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Beijing: You have the freedom to choose between
1) Trust Xi and enable Taiwan to become similar to Hong Kong
-demilitarized, insert Beijing's Security Law that overrule domestic laws and forever be pro-Beijing
or 2) Reject Emperor Xi's Winnie Imperial era order and prepare to be more like Ukraine
Option 3 "maintain status quo" isn't in option by 2027
O___o over 89.64% of citizens supports the Status Quo and this is also the norm by all major candidate for president.
My Question is Beijing political party's desire to unify by force intimidation or annexation really the will of the mainlander when it could ruin beyond just their economy.
(the gain don't merit the lose and that's assuming if it even succeeds) or are we *facing another Putin* who's will is law and their citizen must either support or obey?

Where is our democracy …homeless people .. prices of food can’t afford regular citizen .. and so on .. and we are looking about the problem that not relevant to Canadian citizens… what is going on?
Taiwan, represented by KMT (Kuomintang) under Chiang Kai Shek committed war atrocities during China's Civil War against CPC.
Over several years after the 1927 Shanghai massacre, the Kuomintang killed between 300,000 and one million people, primarily peasants, in anti-communist campaigns as part of the White Terror.[126][127] During the White Terror, the Nationalists specifically targeted women with short hair who had not been subjected to foot binding, on the presumption that such "non-traditional" women were radicals.[127] Nationalist forces cut off their breasts, shaved their heads, and displayed their mutilated bodies to intimidate the populace.[127]
Torture, rape, and collective punishment were common Nationalist practices during its counter-insurgency campaigns.[104]: 91-92 The Nationalists uprooted and moved entire communities in an effort to more easily monitor Communist activities.[104]: 92
From 1946 to 1949, the Nationalists arrested, tortured, and killed political dissidents via the Sino-American Cooperative Organization.[128]
@elimlinrr6898
A few years ago the Kuomintang jumped in bed with Reality and changed its tune about invading mainland China and overthrowing the PRC. That is when the US got to work creating pro-American political parties and bankrolling alternative Taiwan leaders. Funny that the US love of democracy and freedom does not extend to the neighbouring island of Okinawa, which was never liberated from Japanese occupation after World War 2. (Although in political terms the country of Japan is still occupied by the USA with no timeline for its independence. Japan has not yet signed a peace treaty with Russia or the USSR.)
Taiwan is part of China. It is same as Quebec to Canada.
My condolences to *all Chinese🇨🇳* who lost their freedom of speech and independent thought, now become victims of
*lies of the century:*
- It's inevitable that China will "rule the world" and the USA is a "declining power,"
*- Taiwan🇹🇼 is a "province" of China,*
- South China Sea belonged to China "since ancient times,"
- Wuhan virus originated in "Fort Detrick, USA,"
- Uyghurs are herded in concentration camps "to curb terrorism."
As long as those who oppose China are almost psychologically serious, they are not realistic.
I'm so surprised that so many foreigners are more concerned about Chinese freedom than theirs.
Where did you hear: It's inevitable that China will "rule the world" and the USA is a "declining power,"?
you really enjoy freedom - freedom to lie!!!

Taiwan no.1. ❤❤❤❤
He who counts the vote wins.
does it matter? it is no secret that the ballots can be faked or stolen... even in US.
Before making the news, go and check what is the official name for Taiwan, and its territory described in their constitution!
Taiwan's official name is not PRC nor do I see Chinese communist flags in Taiwanese gov buildings, unlike Hong Kong. So what's your point?
It's not PRC, it's ROC(Taiwan) nothing to do with China.
@@simonh2208 The point is, whether you like or dislike a certain political party, it doesn't change your nationality. Just because you don't like Liberals/Conservatives/NDP/whatever else, you don't just magically stop being a Canadian, unless you have a referendum and pass the vote then declare yourself as something else like what Quebec tried to do in 1995.
The US gave the legal ruling authority of One China from the ROC away to the PRC on July 10th 1971 whether you admit/like it or not.

@@Audittheauditors2 Quebecers pay taxes to the Federal Government, there's Canadian flags all over Quebec provincial buildings. No Chinese communist flag exist in any Taiwanese Government buildings nor do TAIWANESE citizens/GDP pay a single tax payer dollar to Xi's communist party. TAIWANESE hold different passports with different immigration rules (does not require visas to a lot of places) compared to Chinese communist citizens. So with your own logic comparing Canada/Quebec versus Taiwan/China, you make no sense against your own argument lol
Bicker all you want, the fact that China needs to INVADE Taiwan means they never had it. Just because your grandparents are from the same place, doesnt mean you have the same values or "nationality". Give it some time, the word China might be gone in Taiwan's legislature soon, you can keep your one China policy, I'm sure they don't want any association to the word "China" at all. (they stared with their passport already haha)
Who cares about PRC. No one said it is PRC. But it is RoC though!
HOW US intimidation looms over Taiwan's crucial election
US will stop sending outdated weapons and ractopamine pork to Taiwan.
its doesnt matter what the Chinese regime think about Taiwan. Its about what the Chinese ppl think about Taiwan. The regime can change, it always has in the past. But Taiwan will remain part of China regardless which party or regime rules China.
China’s history of illegal wars, occupations, regime change and proxy wars in Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia and Myanmar are indeed a cause for concern
Barking without evidence... Where is the source??
@@joshuayang7897 I think you missed the sarcasm lmao
Korea and Vietnam was the U.S. to try to stop them from going communist, Phillipines, Myanmar, and Indonesia was Japan trying to conquer the world. Taiwan? Perhaps the ROC government during the civil war, but not the Taiwanese people that were forcibly taken from China to Taiwan.
I am also very sure that until today China still occupies Hawaii, Guam, Guantanamo, Diego Garcia even California and many more.
I guess you don’t know the China history. China fought the first opium war with the British and lost. Hong Kong was ceded to U.K. China then fought the second opium war with G8 and lost. A large part of China was ceded. China also had to give up Taiwan to Japan and a lot of money in exchange for “peace”. UK also built a park in Shanghai and erected a plaque at the entrance “ Chinese and dogs are not allowed”. After the second world wars, during which almost 10 percent of Chinese killed by Japanese, U.N. passed a Resolution 2758 recognizing that “there is only one China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China territory”. 99 percent of U.N. members including G20 only recognize China and not Taiwan. For your information, China has a history of 4,000 years and has never invaded another country. I don’t think you can say that for the U.S. and UK.
How does this title sound ' how Canada’s intimidation looms on Quebec's referendum ...
dear Quebec, don't let the door hit you in the butt...
Nice try wumao. There where 2 Referendums in Quebec where people voted without Ottawa launching missiles over the Province and the results where respected.
@@johnstreet797 How about Alberta ? They've already had plans to take back their pension contributions !!!
This report’s narrative is way too elementary, explaining nothing about the real domestic issue here, you give your reviewers zero information about the historical context of this Chinese island and how it came about. Yes, you are making your public even more dumber.
What historical context do you need to explain CCP threats?
@@alexanderh.999 How about the fact is people in "Taiwan" has no consensus of who they are? Other than the ones who identify as Chinese or Taiwanese, there are some who even identify as Japanese, some American, or some identify as neither (aboriginals).

You either have to give them all the interview questions in advance so they can work out 'what is allow to say or what to say"
There are only few exception and those are always toeing Beijing's line. Ai will likely replace their jobs in the future since its so unoriginal.
@@michaelwang6125So just like Canada then and most countries claiming to be democracies. And if they are asked questions that aren't vetted, they simply filibuster only to end up not answering the question at all.
1. Almost 20 years ago, Quebec wanted to separate from Canada. Most Canadians were very upset. The Canadain government did every thing it could to prevent it.
2. It is true that Taiwanese votes can vote. However, the person they elected must obey the U.S. government. All candidates must went to the U.S. to be interviewed prior to the election. In addition, Biden already announced that he would send a delegation to Taiwan to tell them what they can or cannot do.
Will Taiwan become UKRAINE 2.0 ???
@@Finness894there are similarities and differences between Taiwan and Ukraine. Both countries are chess of a proxy war. The differences are the U.S. “love”Ukraine more for obvious reasons. They are not going to send soldiers to die for Taiwan. In addition, Taiwan is an island and the refugees have nowhere to go except the sea.
Quebec voted to stay haha
Quebec voted to stay, twice
Where do u get they obey U.S, chk out the votes tonight. Also do they have to obey Mr.Xi under China? At least one is selling weapon to them while the other using it against them. ur brainwashing only work in China.
The salient points to remember before voting.
Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. This is an irrefutable fact. China and Taiwan became separated because of a civil war. This is an internal matter of China. China alone should decide how to reunify with Taiwan.
The people on the island has no right to decide their own future. It has to be decided together with the people on the mainland.
China -Taiwan reunification is an internal matter of China. Foreign powers should stay out of it.
Leading Taiwan to separation and independence is leading it down the path of war.
A vote for the DPP is a vote for war.
投票前要记住的要点。
台湾是中国不可分割的一部分。 这是无可辩驳的事实。 中国和台湾因内战而分裂。 这是中国的内部事务。 中国应该独自决定如何与台湾统一。
岛上人民没有权利决定自己的未来。 这必须与大陆人民共同决定。
中台统一是中国内政。 外国势力不应插手此事。
带领台湾走向分裂独立，就是带领台湾走上战争之路。
投票给民进党就是投票给战争。
What election in China?
The harsh reality is that Taiwan has to choose either the US or China. No such thing as "independent" since Taiwan's position is way too critical for both countries
Sudetenland mentality spotted
@@asainipa lot of eastern countries including china have far greater participation in local level politics who in turn have a much bigger choice in choosing the party leadership than western countries do where it’s all chosen by special interests behind closed doors and if real change is brought by democracy like in 2016 than democracy has to go.
I’m so sick of the hypocrisy of the west where the deeply flawed systems we acknowledge at home as such, are used to put down and meddle with other countries. This is why I left Canada for a country largely based on the Chinese system. It’s nice not having political propaganda shoved down your face 24/7 about obscure minorities as a reason we should hate each other and think we have a choice when every party is run by similar groups of oligarchs. By interfering with yet another great power the west will reap what it sows while the third world rises and industrializes from the ashes of colonialism
@@guanda3312 it’s funny because the humiliation of Germany by the British and French caused world war 2 and the west learned nothing, continuing to try and artificially keep other countries down except this time it’s the Americans. They also said the same thing about crimea after supporting ultra nationalists all over the post ussr causing all these wars in the former Soviet Union. Guess what’s happened from the war in Donbas, the Americans have been humiliated on the world stage because they refused to negotiate and their Ukrainian nato trained vassal has been systematically destroyed, leaving it clear that Russia possesses the top land army in the world.
Western minded people like to compare everything to hitler because not only are they overly propagandized and overly dramatic but also world war 2 is the only historical event they know and they typically don’t even understand it well. First it’s Putin is hitler, then it’s Xi, now we need to hate Kagame and call him hitler. All of these leaders at one point collaborated or tried to collaborate with the west only to have their faces spat in and now are supposedly evil for fighting back against ultranationists who want to undermine their country and in some cases like azov or wazalendo, want to slaughter their own people. But somehow they’re like Hitler for fighting back while the west who arms all these people are supposedly the good guys for defending their “sovereignty”. While why does the west need to be in Taiwan, Ukraine or Congo. It’s also interesting how netenyahu who actually acts like Hitler(living space, actual genocide) enjoys complete western support. Like give me a break I’m so sick of the illiterate politics of the west
1) Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory. 2) The vast majority of country in the world recognize the One China principle.
3) Canada also clearly agrees that Taiwan is China's territory, and there is only China in the world.
