TAIPEI - The world is watching what choice Taiwan makes as the only Chinese-speaking democracy, President Tsai Ing-wen said on Friday, the eve of elections in which Tsai said a vote for her would be a vote for freedom.
“To choose Tsai Ing-wen and Enoch Wu is to choose to stand together with democracy and freedom,” Tsai told reporters at a campaign event. Wu is an up-and-coming member of Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party , a former banker who is standing for parliament. China claims Taiwan as its sacred territory, to be taken under Beijing’s control by force if needed. Taiwan says it is an independent country, called the Republic of China, its official name.
The former British colony of Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” formula aimed at ensuring a high degree of autonomy.
