Does the DPP's vote share in this election actually signify any kind of a movement or consensus for reunification? Or are these election results a sign that a status quo must be maintained. Or are these election results merely a consequence of the complexities of genuine democracy with local socio-political/political economy factors playing a role? Unless one is tracking deep into Taiwanese politics and society, this analysis remains one-sided. It's mainland China's POV. It's very, very interesting, nevertheless.
Hi, thank you for the feedback! DPP's vote for the Taiwan leader decrease from over 50% to around 40%, and the third party led by KP is not a force that could be ignored in the past four years and the coming four years, especially considering their popularity among young ppl. That's a very rough review and I plan to interview some experts for some deep analysis. And this piece mainly focused on mainland's perspective because I believe it is important for some readers to understand the mainland's angle on analyzing these things. Does that make sense to you?
Thank you for putting this in perspective. Since the DPP remains in power, not much changes. Their vote share plummeted from 57% to 40% over four years. Also TPP + KMT, which are not anti-reunification, got over 50% of the vote share, so it's clear where Taiwanese people stand on how geopolitics have changed over the past 4 years.
Thank you! This is a relatively quick review of the situation. And I believe young ppl in Taiwan want something different from the DPP and the KMT, so I am very curious on the development of TPP after this election. I hope I can do more deep analysis in the coming weeks.

I believe you work for the Xinhua News Agency. Is that correct?
Yes, but this newsletter is my personal project.
