William Lai's US Visit: A Game-Changer for Taiwan's Political Landscape? | The Gaze

#thegaze #Taiwan #china William Lai is considered one of the main enemies and threats in China. He openly fights for the recognition of Taiwan as an independent state. Since both Beijing and Taipei officially consider only themselves to be China and claim the entire territory of China and the island of Taiwan at once. The discussion about renouncing these claims in Taiwan has been ongoing for a long time, but politicians with such a course have not yet come to power. This could change as early as January when the island will hold presidential and parliamentary elections. William Lai is the current Vice President and one of the three candidates. His visit to the US can therefore be called part of the election campaign.
