World leaders congratulated Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for a historic third presidential term even as President Biden warned that the U.S. will not endorse independence for the island.
"We do not support independence," Biden told reporters when asked for comment on DPP candidate William Lai’s victory over the rival Koumintang (KMT) party following Saturday’s election.
Lai, who also goes by his Chinese name, Ching-te, declared victory after a tightly contested election saw him beat KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih, the mayor of New Taipei City. Beijing had not declared a clear preference for any candidate, but Chinese officials framed Lai as "dangerous."

Sadly, it’s true...
Here we go Buckaroos.
I have repeatedly said the pervert bag of shit is gonna sell out Taiwan.
Here he is in all his communist party treachery.
If china makes the grab we will be seeing abacuses in Walmart to add up the grocery bill.
No more computer chips for the US, we are mere cattle for Xi Jinping.

AMERICA IS BACK(ing off)!
