Senior Fellow and Director, China Center

Last weekend鈥檚 election in Taiwan, which is officially known as the Republic of China (ROC), is the most consequential presidential contest in the Asia-Pacific region in 2024. In this contentious yet free, open, fair, and democratic election, candidates from the three main political parties (the victorious Democratic Progressive Party, the main opposition Kuomintang, and the populist third party the Taiwan People鈥檚 Party) vigorously debated key issues for the island鈥檚 future. These issues are not only vital to the 23 million Taiwanese people, but also to regional and global prosperity and security. The momentous rise of Taiwan鈥檚 archenemy, the revanchist Communist China, is the most destabilizing factor in current geopolitics.

Please join 华体会鈥檚 China Center for a discussion of these key issues with two of the most authoritative experts fresh out of the exhilarating Taiwanese presidential campaign: Vincent Chao, the spokesperson for President-elect William Lai, and Alexander Huangspecial advisor to the chairman of the Kuomintang.
