- Taiwan goes to the polls next Saturday to elect a new president and parliament. China, which considers Taiwan merely a Chinese province and part of its territory, will be watching the outcome closely.
- Relations warmed considerably after Ma Ying-jeou, from the Kuomintang party which favors close ties to China, took office as president in 2008 and then won re-election in 2012. Ma held a landmark meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Singapore in late 2015. Beijing believes Tsai wants to push Taiwan’s formal independence, a red line for China. She says she wants to maintain the status quo, declaring neither Taiwan independence nor seeking to join with China.- Tsai’s main opponent is the Kuomintang candidate Han Kuo-yu, mayor of the southern port city of Kaohsiung. He wants better ties with China to help boost Taiwan’s economy, and visited China last year, meeting with senior officials in charge of policy-making toward the island.
- Taiwan says China has thousands of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles as well as cruise missiles pointed at Taiwan, and that China runs a sophisticated online misinformation campaign to support China-friendly candidates.
