Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen’s landslide victory over her main opponent, Han Kuo-yu of the Kuomingtang (KMT) party, who favors friendlier ties with Beijing, sent a clear message that the Chinese regime’s intimidation efforts have not worked, experts say.
There was “no doubt” that the election results signified a “repudiation of China,” and “a repudiation of the idea of unification,” June Teufel Dreyer, a political science professor at the University of Miami and a senior fellow of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, told The Epoch Times.
