here it is also necessary to say about the kuomintang party that it is the most acceptable not only because of the most positive relations, let's say, with mainland china, but also because this party at one time in 1992 signed a document together with china, which is called consensus . in 1992, according to him, the mainland and the island signed up to the fact that there is one policy, that there is one china. in general, this principle of theirs came out of what you also mentioned, mr. mykola, that each from the mainland and the island, their power at one time considered itself one, and chaikangshi hoped one day to return to the mainland, defeat the communist party, well, he believed that the republic of china would then... restore its influence on the mainland, and the communists believed that they will do exactly this with taiwan, that is, the form of unification was so-so, but when in 1992 it became clear that either war or some kind of understanding, this document was signed, but it is twofold, er, on its part, china , who was stronger, he realized that so, if we are one china, we are

with the kuomintang , that is, both political forces do not claim independence, and this is already china believes that the progressive party is more separatist and the kuomintang is less separatist, because the kuomintang has its origins in the mainland, uh, and all these people who led the communist the china party, they were all members of the kuomintang leadership, and mao zedong and jonen, all founders of kener, they were in the kuomintang. it was a nationwide such party, but the democratic progressive party was created in taiwan itself, and therefore it no longer causes great enthusiasm, but there is an absolutely accurate understanding in both of these leading parties that china must be resisted, and now imagine the fate of these enterprises, uh, what will happen to the world economy, imagine one fine day, china destroys these... enterprises just because missile strikes, bombings, people flee somewhere, not even that they will be destroyed, because people can flee, workers leave the territories, emigrate somewhere, one moment, the next moment, against the people's republic of china and its enterprises are introduced

during the elections, i want to remind you, there were negotiations between the pro-chinese kuomintang partyis people's party, regarding the matter of uniting and together overthrowing its ruling party, moving it from positions of power. nevertheless, the dialogue did not take place and no agreement was reached. and now the question arises whether they will really be able to come to an agreement, but no longer in the mode of cooperation regarding the position of the president, cooperation regarding the work in the parliament, and now this under-the-carpet struggle is about to begin , which after some time will give a certain result, how it will turn out is very difficult for us, distant external observers, to say, and what are the powers of the taiwanese president in general from the point of view of his relations with the parliament, conventionally speaking , this is... like in france or like in poland, well, conventionally speaking, you understand which model, the model is closer to the presidential form than to the parliamentary form, yes, therefore, control over the parliament is desirab

"extreme danger" of electing a frontrunner from the ruling democratic progressive party, while the opposition kuomintangviewed as being more friendly with beijing. china — taiwan's biggest trading partner, also claims the self—ruled island as part of its own territory. for clues on how this will play out after the weekend's results let's bring in lev nachman — assistant professor in political science at the local national chengchi university. do you see any electoral outcome that would change china by xhaka there is the us? if they can see when the election there is a reset chance of dialectic between taiwan and the prc. it will be a meaningful process. if the other group wins there might be a more icy relationship. regardless of which party wins, there won't be a major change between the taiwan and us relationship, all three presidential candidates have made trips to the united states to assure the united states and washington, dc saying they would take that to point or approach to the taiwan— usa relationship continuing the dialog and build up of relationships. 50 dialog and build up of relationships.

extreme danger of electing the front runner from the ruling democratic progressive party or the opposition kuomintang friendly. china is taiwan's biggest training —— trading partner and island island does its own territory. earlier i spoke with a political science —— scientists and asked whether the outcome of the election could change relations with china and the united states. if kmt wins this election we see the potential for a resetting dialogue between taiwan and the prc and there would be a process in and of itself. i think we will see more of this icy relationship between two sides. regardless of which party wins i do not see a major change between the taiwan and us relationship. all three presidential candidates have made multiple trips to the united states to ensure that make sure the united states and all three are taking a similar approach meaning they will continue robust dialogue and slowly build up relations between the two countries. we ma see between the two countries. we may see some movement depending on who wins this election. how would you characterise the relationship they have a

pro-communist views, which is nonsense from a historical point of view, because the kuomintang government lost to the chinese communist party and fled from the communists to taiwan. i strongly oppose taiwan's independence, but i also oppose one country, two systems, i firmly defend taiwan's democracy and freedom, this is the middle the path taiwan should take. tense. literally on january 9, residents received a message on their mobile phones; the air defense system was activated. the launch of a chinese satellite caused alarm, as it turned out, due to the uncharacteristic flight path of the launch vehicle. against this background, the united states is escalating the situation. at the last meeting between representative taibe and the speaker of the house of representatives, it was said: “after the elections, the americans will send another delegation to the island, to their military base closest to taiwan,” they are moving fuel reserves from hawaii's pearl harbor. we , of course, want to help, the defense of taiwan is very important to us, which, as expected, caused an instant reaction from beijing; chairman xi has already p

versus the chinese nationalist party, the kuomintang, which was first established in china more than hundred years ago. and moved to taiwan after the chinese civil war, and to fundamentally believe that taiwan should be part of some kind of china. and envisions better relations with china. that's a policy they would seek to further if they reclaim power in the election. you have this standoff between what is a fundamental question, where taiwan sees its future. if the dpp candidate wins, lai t ching-te, you would likely see him seek to further taiwan's separate status from china, or at least work hard to promote that. you would likely see his administration worked closely with the american side to bolster taiwan's defenses. also to push back against what is widely perceived as an increasingly assertive china when it comes on the political and military side, when it comes to technology and semiconductors, of course, the u.s. would find a much more willing partner in taiwan if the dpp were to win. on the other hand, if the other party were to win, you would seek taiwan shifted its stan

at least, as the world media say, then most likely it will be the pro-american progressive party, the kuomintangthat korea is separate from taiwan, in general korea is separate in general, because it is to korea, firstly, unlike everyone else, that we have the palestinian-israeli, there is azerbaijani-armenian, there is india and pakistan, and here there are koreans and koreans, absolutely controllable. he says, well, accordingly, here , well, someone says that well, how could you not, otherwise god forbid there is something here, you need it, are you strong enough? yes, well, the last sentence, this is precisely the most important point here, because in fact, yes, by the way, i am talking today with people on the ground, that is, with the american military in korea on this topic, this is their general impression, so to speak from this conflict, that... the drama theater of course, of course, yes, this is this this is very, very beautiful, the main thing is beautiful, because also the main thing is that they hear the whistle here, it seems to me, of course, of course, because really , everyone r

taiwan. the chairman of the pro-western democratic progressive party gains 40.1% of the vote, in second place is houyou from the kuomintang, who advocates rapprochement with china, with 33.5%. in third place is the candidate from the centrists and the taiwan people's party, ke wenja, 26.5%. the winner, as you understand, is the most pro-western candidate of all, and for the third election in a row, the current president tsai ing-wen from the same pro-western party a party that...consistently advocates taiwan's independence from china, and this is the best option for washington and bad for beijing. at the same time, the most dangerous option from the point of view of china’s invasion of taiwan into its own region and its forceful annexation. let me remind you that in his new year's address, xiding ping threatened taiwan with the inevitable reunification, thus trying to influence the election results. taiwan has decided to follow... taiwan is an inseparable part of china and will definitely return to the country. apparently that's why biden's first call was to call the newly elected president of taiwan and urge him not to s
