With Taiwan's 2020 leadership and legislative elections approaching, candidates are fiercely debating how to handle relations with the Chinese mainland – a topic that could define the island's future. 🌏
Party Lines Clash
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leader Tsai Ing-wen accused the Chinese mainland of using tourism and economic ties as \"political tools\" during a televised debate. Meanwhile, Kuomintang candidate Han Kuo-yu faces criticism from Tsai for allegedly prioritizing Beijing's interests, calling it \"selling out Taiwan.\"
Peace Advocates Speak Up
James Soong Chu-yu of the People First Party champions dialogue, stressing that peaceful cross-strait relations benefit residents. But as campaigns intensify, voters remain split: Some fear economic dependence, while others seek stability through cooperation. 💼
What’s at Stake?
