Milei in Argentina and Lai in Taiwan. Reasons for hope.
What? How do they have results already? The vote was only a day ago.
ALL THREE Taiwan candidates were pro-western, pro-sovereignty, and even pro-American. They differed within a relatively narrow range, in how to approach China and what words/themes they would use in their relations and how to describe themselves.
Note that the winner only rec’d 40% of the vote. Even less than Bill Clinton in 1992
Polls of Taiwan voters show they were more concerned about economic and social-welfare issues on the island, vs. China
This is a reductionist, and overly simplified article that lacks any real insight to anyone who cares about details
China can’t even win a border skirmish with India without getting its azz kicked. 🙄
