WSJ explores these disinformation campaigns, as whoever wins office could help dictate Taipei’s relationship with Beijing.

May Taiwan be peaceful and prosperous in these uncertain times
The Taiwan economy went into recession last year whilst the Chinese economy posed a GDP Growth of 5.6%(IMF figures). Ever feel you are being lied to???
@@pessi6185 Taiwan GDP per capita = $32,000
China GDP per capita = $12,500
Good luck catching up, China. Decades behind Taiwan.

Mainland Chinese economy growing
Taiwanese economy shrinking
Mainland China is the richest country in the world by PPP which is a far more accurate measurement than wealth than GDP particularly in times of High inflation.
Nice try but Taiwan ain't in the same league as Mainland China.
Mainland China is Taiwan's biggest trading partner by a long way so Western mentality of trying to separate the Chinese province of Taiwan with the mainland would completely destroy the Taiwanese economy, but you're an ignorant Westerner & don't care about that eh?
Yes - peaceful , prosperous AND FREE.
@@pessi6185 you straight capping lol, china's ppp per capita is much lower than taiwans, almost by a factor of 10.
also, gotta love how you are defending china on a platform that you wouldnt even be able to access if you were in china.
Taiwan is free to determine its own destiny. And it chooses not to be a vassal to China.
Oh boy, I hope Taiwan sees through the disinformation campaigns! 🙏
Americans didn’t so what makes you think they will?
No. It is just an excuse for more censorship. Taiwan's problem is all their politicians put their self interest first. All three VP candidates have green crad or US citizenship. REally.
@@rogerbing5314 Lol, I said, I hope
I think many Taiwanese do, although the China-backed KMT and Independent party is spending a boat load of money trying to make their candidate the winner, and it shows even on the street level. We're about to find out as today (Jan 13, 2024) is the day of the Taiwanese election.
@@Pouncer_Fox Good luck! 🙏

I wish you all the best. Here in Finland we were in a somewhat similar situation a while ago. Stay strong.

Btw hope Taiwan turns out okay after these elections, best luck to Taiwanese people!
Thank you!! Welcome to Taiwan and we always welcome international friends could know more about us❤!
We are facing cognitive warfare very hard! 😢 I think everyone should understand CCP more, we love China it’s beautiful! Taiwanese won’t hate china people, most Taiwanese are really polite and rational. But we afraid the truth of CCP , and because we know what they did to China people and Hong Kong. China people some are being brainwashed, some of them knows but can’t talk. We needs to find the way to protect us from the united front.
If you interested, recommend dig in our history!!😊haha
Btw,
My grandpa came to Taiwan during the war and forced to separated from his 1st wife and their children, of course his family. He came here married my grandma who was Hakka people. And my grandpa on father side his family been to Taiwan almost 300+years ago, my grandma was aboriginal.
Not all Taiwanese are Chinese.
And we learned to respect and love all king of members in Taiwan, including people from China/ Vitnem… who married Taiwanese, Indonesia and Thai people who come here for works etc. We took care of minority and works hard in human right! Such us we are the first country legalize same sex marriage in Asia ~
Love and peace❤
You mean 2034 - 2039
exactly how China blamed Japan for contaminating the "sea" with radioactive material making sea "radioactive".... Biological weapon development is Russian propaganda Style which China seems to have adopted.

It's time for Khalistan and Hawaii to be independent from India and the US. That's the message from Taiwanese to Khalistani dan Hawaiianese people.
It is very important to make people aware of the fact that acts of aggression based on unilateral claims without the approval of the UN have nothing to gain but economic exhaustion.
This will deter sterile wars and save countries from wasting money.
I thought the USA always acted unilaterally without any approval of the UN.
@@lawrencel2544 Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, to my knowledge, with a few exceptions, the United States has always relied on Security Council resolutions for the basis of its military actions. And in most cases, it has been primarily anti-aggression and counter-terrorism, not annexing foreign lands to its own, as Russia has done.
@@aburakadabura2But the US has consistently vetoed all UNSC resolutions against Israel so they don't have much credibility at all since they are just shielding Israel against prosecution from the international community
@@lxy315lxy That is your own view. In reality, Security Council resolutions as international law have been in effect until now. Just like domestic laws that individuals abide by. There are exceptions, though, just as there are individuals who break the law, and there are countries that break UN resolutions.
@@aburakadabura2 The United States is just as hypocritical as Russia. But the United States is even more hypocritical. The countries supported by the United States in launching military actions are all allies of the United States; The United States generally supports puppet regimes and then delivers benefits to itself through these puppet regimes; For example, making the oil of puppet countries an asset of American companies. They claim to be a beacon of democracy, but support a brutal feudal monarchy like Saudi Arabia. They invade a country often under the pretext of opposing terrorism. This is essentially no different from Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the pretext of opposing the Nazis. They are all very dirty.

go right fuckign ahead
Where's your balance of reporting, Mr. Station Chief? Why do we only hear the ruling party's voice in this? What goodies did they promise you to show this one day before election?
Coz ruling party is doing right thing maintaining sovereignty of the country. Taiwanese people dont want to endup like Hongkong. Its better to be free than becoming slave of Xi Ping Pong
Why don't our government take care of our home issues before helping others. We have homeless and drug problem in every states. here we go, our government gives money to other nations. sigh....
Because it does not make money for the elite. What would you do? Give money to the poor so they can have healthcare or give money to your buddy so they can kick some back to you.
Nobody wants to fix problems at home because most suburban professionals have careers that are dependent on the political and economic dysfunction.
they must've have to choose between political alliances and their own country, as promises were made. But I do agree since they shouldn't make promises they can't keep

What a joke, you got to ask first what Lai wants to be independent from.Lai’s agenda is to be independent from Republic of China(ROC), he dislikes the ROC constitution claiming the territory of both mainland China and the island of Taiwan and desires to change that. It has nothing to do with People’s Republic Of China(PROC). The problem PROC has, is Potsdam declaration’s agreement of returning the Taiwan island to China, and which government represents China. People just forget that the civil war of China never ended between the PROC and ROC, like the north and South Korea.

If a thousand years ago, our Vietnamese ancestors had said: "We cannot win against China", there would be no Vietnam today.
Taiwan is so blessed compared to Dai Viet a millennium ago. Taiwan is richer than China. Its economy is sophisticated and deeply connected to the international community. It has at its disposal advanced weaponries that will make defense of its sovereignty much easier against enemy numbers. And it has a 100-km-wide protective sea moat! Vietnam was and is connected to China by land and had to fight ground wars.
If the Taiwanese people are immovable in their will to be independent, I'm sure there will be a way. If a small country such as Vietnam could do it a thousand years ago with no allies, a modern Taiwan can handily do it, too!

And end up unsuccessful
Mainland China ought to apply for membership of Taiwan.
For Taiwan issue, you only need to know 3 key things:
1) For PRC, CCP and Chinese on Mainland, this is an unfinished Chinese Civil War. You can accurately predict their action based on That.
2) For PRC, CCP and Chinese on Mainland, Taiwan issue is behind the China competition with US and breaking US containment, unless DPP forces CCP's hand with formal declaration of Independency or equivalent actions like changing the Current Whole China Constitution to independence one.
3) US wants using Taiwan to contain or weaken PRC/CCP, but not a direct war with China. This is exactly the Ukraine situation.
You just need to know one thing: Most neighboring countries are not fond of CCP-China's behavior. That explains all.
