updates: Taiwan's Vice President Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has been elected as the new president, defying warnings and intimidations from mainland China. The election demonstrated the Taiwanese people's commitment to democracy and their aspirations for freedom. China regards Taiwan as a renegade province, but the Taiwanese people see themselves as different from the Chinese people from the mainland. Lai's victory was not surprising due to his high popularity rating. Taiwan's election cannot change the basic pattern and development of Cross-Strait relations, according to the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council spokesperson. The Taiwanese people have learned from the experience of Hong Kong, where the 'One country, two systems' arrangement has faced challenges. The election outcome sends a message of freedom that applies everywhere in the world. Taiwan's relationship with mainland China is being closely watched by the world, including ASEAN leaders who hope for maximum restraint to avoid unpredictable consequences in the Indo-Pacific region. China is expected to resolve the matter in its national interest to protect global security and economic stability.

updates: Millions of Taiwanese are heading to the polls today to participate in the country's presidential election amidst threats from China. The election is being closely watched internationally due to the potential for rising military tensions across the Taiwan Strait. China claims Taiwan as its own and has increased military pressure on the island in recent years. The three-way race includes candidates from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the main opposition Nationalist Party (KMT), and the Taiwan People's Party (TPP). All candidates are calling for maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. Over 19.54 million people are eligible to vote, and results are expected later in the day. The frontrunner, Lai Ching-te from the DPP, has been criticized by China as a dangerous 'separatist' and Beijing has vowed to 'crush' any move towards Taiwanese independence. Lai has pitched himself as the defender of Taiwan's democratic way of life, while his opponent, Hou Yu-ih of the KMT, favors warmer ties with China. The upstart populist Taiwan People's Party (TPP) led by Ko Wen-je offers a 'third way' out of the two-party deadlock. Taiwan is home to a powerhouse semiconductor industry producing microchips powering everything from smartphones to cars and missiles. China has stepped up military pressure on Taiwan in recent years, periodically stoking worries about a potential invasion. Chinese President Xi Jinping says the 'unification' of Taiwan with China is 'inevitable'. Taiwan bans the publishing of polls within 10 days of elections. Political observers say Lai is expected to win the top seat, though his party is likely to lose its majority in the legislature. Hundreds of thousands of people attended final pre-election rallies in Taiwan on Friday ahead of critical presidential and parliamentary polls. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which champions Taiwan's separate identity and rejects China's territorial claims, is seeking a third term in office with its candidate, current Vice President Lai Ching-te. China has framed the elections as a choice between 'peace and war' and has warned it would 'smash any Taiwan independence plots'. The DPP rejects China's sovereignty claims and says only Taiwan's people can decide their future. Polls open at 8.00 a.m. (0000 GMT) and close at 4.00 p.m. (0800 GMT), with ballot counting by hand starting almost at once. The result should be clear by late evening Saturday when the losers concede and the winner gives a victory speech. Taiwan's defense ministry has accused China of threatening aviation safety and waging psychological warfare by launching spy balloons and a rocket over the island. The CCP claims Taiwan as a rogue territory and has suggested war is a possibility if Taiwan's independence is recognized abroad. US lawmakers express bipartisan support for Taiwan and vow to stand with the Taiwanese people. Some lawmakers call for hastening the delivery of arms to Taiwan and ensuring economic defense. The United States will continue to support Taiwan regardless of the election result. Taiwan is conducting elections to choose a new president and parliament. The winner will guide the democratic nation of 23 million inhabitants amidst heightened tensions with China. The rift between China and Taiwan dates back to China’s civil war, which erupted in 1927 between communist and nationalist forces. After decades of authoritarian government, Taiwan transformed into a vibrant democracy in the 1990s. The current ruling Democratic People’s Party, led by President Tsai Ing-wen, regards Taiwan as a de facto sovereign nation. The UN switched recognition from Taiwan to Beijing in 1971. Taiwan enjoys many of the trappings of a full diplomatic relationship with the United States. Taiwan is one of the world’s leading tech manufacturing hubs, home to industry giants such as Foxconn and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Taiwan has also been a regional leader in gender and LGBTQ equality.
