Whether the DPP sweeps Taipei and New Taipei, or the KMT keeps its northern stronghold, the outcome of the local elections is not a reflection of Taiwanese attitudes toward China, Lai, Trump, or war. My latest with @brianhioe.bsky.social in The Diplomat: thediplomat.com/2026/10/taiw...
thediplomat.com
Taiwan’s Local Elections Are Not About China, President Lai, or the United States
Candidates across Taiwan are campaigning on local issues that vary by city – not topics like cross-strait relations. What can we learn from these elections?
