TAIPEI—China is interfering in Taiwan’s elections “every day” as it seeks to damage the island’s democracy, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said on Nov. 19, after China sailed an aircraft carrier group near the self-ruled island on the weekend.
The election campaign, which is also for Taiwan’s legislature, has kicked into high gear, and is being closely watched by Taiwan’s giant neighbor China, which claims Taiwan as sacred Chinese territory, to be brought under its control by force if needed.
