William Lai Ching-te was inaugurated as Taiwan’s new leader on May 20, 2024. In his first speech as president, Lai pledged to uphold the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, and called on Beijing to work jointly for peace. The head of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a narrow victory in the January elections. The island’s new president faces various challenges, including a divided society as well as strong opposition and pressure from mainland China, which views Lai as a separatist.

It's so disturbing to see politicians turn into street thugs in their own Parliment. I have the same impression when the South Korean politicians go after each other. Do they know the meaning of civility? Do they know how they look to the world?
They really don't care how they look to the world because they are hypocrites. Apart from being uncivilized, for a nation that claims to be the most democratic in Asia, the violence that erupted in their parliament is ironically definitely NOT democratic, but smacks of autocracy and authoritarianism....hypocrisy on show.
This is usually how "democracy" looks like, get used to it
It shows that they are genuinely passionate about representing their voters. I an actually jealous that they do this, I hope our country does this more often lol. Unlike countries like North korea and China where the politicians act like robots but the prime minister, it makes it seem like no one is keeping the boss in-check.
They're fighting so normal citizens don't have to fight on the streets
Because if you're not white, you're not "true" democracy

“Taiwan” official names is still Republic of China, it’s in their constitution and on their passport
Yes. Just like the official name of Greece "the Hellenic Republic", the official name of Taiwan "the Republic of China" is little known worldwide. How many people know that the flag carrier of Taiwanese airline is called "China Airline" instead of "Taiwan Airline"?
@@terryhsieh7236 true
Is that why Xi Jinping needs a visa approval to enter Taiwan?
If you want to learn about Chinese corruption, look up David Zhang. He exposes the corruption of the CCP. For example, local officials and companies will often embezzle millions, if not billions, meant for the people of China and often skip safety regulations and build stuff out of subpar materials, causing death and destruction.
Republic of China 中華民國 (Taiwan) has nothing to do with People’s Republic of China 中華人民共和國 (China)
Democracy : Government for the US, by the US.
Taiwanese vote for Taiwanese. Chinese don't have the vote. Criticism of Xi is not tolerated
😂😂😂😂😂USA has fake democracy

Democracy sound like Hypocrisy.
In the US, these two goes along in their system.

Late Dr SunYat Sen didnt ask you to go independent for Taiwan but unification as one China
He wasn't even member of nationalist party. He is member of DPP that wanted taiwan full independence.
So most likely he would not care of whatever sun yat sen thinking other than to pay lip service to nationalist party.
PRC not even existed

He colluded with foreign power
SCMP won't call Taiwan leader "president" now? Like you used to do?
Intention of Secession is a serious crime
SCMP is controlled by the CCP now.
Well he is basically the Chinese president but that might upset Winnie
@@Hkchinese888 Agreed, the CCP are criminals for seceding from the ROC in 1949.

It is amusing how 'people' view Taiwan as the pinnacle of democracy without taking a look at her internal political problems
You have to watch how their members of house parliament fight. That's the pinnacle of democracy. LOLS..

that was so funny
he said china .... that means he acknowledges china as sovereign nation???. i though taiwan(Political party) claims all of china and taiwan....
true
He violated constitution on that. Taiwan media is slamming him for that. He broke 3 laws in that speech.
But in the meantime the French will never allow the Nouvelle Caledonie to breakfree....
Mhhm They had multiple referendums about it. Not sure what you are talking about
I believe Taiwan independence is Dead End.
taiwan should claim whole china
That's the way😂😂
That's what they've been doing for the last few decades. Even though they lost the civil war in China mainland long ago, it wasn't until the end of the 20th century, when the contrast in power between the two sides moved towards a radical imbalance, that they began to take independence to the table. For both sides of a civil war, only the weaker side will show radical behaviour that includes independence or something like that, like North Korea announcing not too long ago that it no longer recognises that it is the same nation as South Korea.
China North Korea South Korea Taiwan, can form a matrix, which has an obvious asymmetrical relationship, but also a subtle mirror relationship. Both North Korea and Taiwan are caught in an ideological quagmire that could invite regional disaster. And both China and South Korea have paid price to outmanoeuvre their rivals.
ROC aka Taiwan should!! And, for that, they need to sit together with PRC!!
@@DDDrumpf Hello laughing boy 😜
It's already is.... It's in the ROC constitution.
Why keep the status Quo?
Didnt you win by promoting Taiwan independent to your people?
More people voted against him and his party in total. They have no majority in parliament and more fist fights will occur
he is a NATO (No Action Talk Only)
Status quo means Taiwan is independent but officially called the ''Republic of China.''
Status Quo always equalled Taiwan Independence.
@@TalaySeedamIn fact, it's more self-ruling island. But, independent?? Well, not really.. There are many limitations to ROC's standing on the global fora...
In 3:16 as "Most countries, including the US, do not recognize Taiwan as an independent state."
If the US 🇺🇸 does not recognize Taiwan as an independent state, then it should not sell weapons and never interfere in internal affair of Taiwan island that belongs to China. 🇨🇳
China wants Taiwanese island to reunite with it peacefully, but the US brings military access to Taiwan, making the political situation aggressive.
Maybe China should have a friendly ties with Norfolk Island.
The challenge is to listen to his master.
Like Zelensky, Lai will take the country into the Abyss. Lai does not have the majority of the Taiwanese people on his side, and he is acting irresponsibly
I call for the liberation of Taiwan from American occupation and to reunite under the majority of Chinese population. Taiwan will join the PRC
keep dreaming
Only after CCP step down.
I call for the liberation of China from the foreign ideology invented by a German Jew known as Marxism.
Like you little-D-boi's dreams about having HSR?

DPP is a bunch of hooligans... Whenever the situation is not in favor of this group, it resorted in violence and low balling in the Legislature. The same tactics it employed years before when they were not in control of the Legislature.

The ex IJA faction target is to take the 19th route army Revenue Merchants assets.
What else is their fight.
It started with an attempted rebellion by Ex IJA over tobacco, gaming & vice in Formosa territory.
Then a KMT Fujien Army unit went over on blitz to arrest the rebels. AGITATION continued post ceasefire after 19th route army move to Formosa. More than a third was soldiers, bureaucrats, supporters of the KMT-NRA with 2 million people and the 4 million indigenous people of Hakka, Aborigines & Minnan. Many of the 1.0 million soldier marry local minnan girls. About 50%, slightly more are 19th route army.
The "White Terror" was like the "EMERGENCY" in Malaya where 4th route army auxiliaries had an open rebellion too.
Here we are today.

No it isn’t.
In the context of the United Nations, the One China Policy is reflected in the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, adopted on October 25, 1971. This resolution recognized the PRC as "the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations" and expelled the representatives of the Republic of China (ROC), which is the government based in Taiwan, from the UN. This resolution effectively transferred the UN seat from the ROC to the PRC.

Taiwan has never been an independent country but was part of the old Republic of China, which lost the Chinese Civil War to the Communists. Initially, the United Nations did not recognize the newly established People's Republic of China. However, that changed in 1971 when the UN decided to expel the defeated Republic of China and recognize the People's Republic of China instead. That marked the end of Taiwan's hopes for international recognition as the Republic of China. Today, the last stronghold of the old Republic of China, the island of Taiwan, is commonly referred to as Taiwan, an island and a province of the People's Republic of China.
