Mixed results. Turnout not as high as 2016, but higher than 2020.
It would seem unlikely that this event would be the direct cause of imminent military action by the PRC.
Super high turnout is always a strong indicator of massive voter fraud.

China would probably prefer the KMT candidate, but Lai has become much more pragmatic and practical over the years and he’s a known, government and DPP party apparatchik.
Its really more a “status quo” result than anything. Probably about what China was expecting.
