STORYLINE:
Taiwan’s leading presidential candidate William Lai said Tuesday he wishes to reopen dialogue with China based on equality and mutual respect after almost eight years of Beijing’s near-complete refusal to communicate with leaders of the self-governing island it considers its own territory.
However, Lai told reporters he would hold to the current administration’s policy of maintaining democratic Taiwan’s de-facto independence in the face of China’s authoritarian Communist Party’s threats to annex it by political, military or economic means.
Voters will also be choosing a new legislature, where the DPP will be seeking to hold on to its majority, largely based on its handling of the economy, public welfare and employment opportunities for young people.
