The politic situation in Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo

 The politic situation in Taiwan/Carlos Pueblo

Taiwan has been a colony of some kinds until 1996 when there is a first national election of a President by the popular votes. Before that critical time, Taiwan was ruled by the Nationalist Chinese under Chiang Kai-sek and his son Chiang Ching-kuo from 1945, Imperial Japanese rule between 1895-1945, Manchu Dynasty  1693-1895, Koxinga 1663-1693, European Dutch and Spain 1624-1662, Tribal Austronesian before 1624. Amazingly now, Taiwan is a democratic nation in this world with 17th economic power. At the end of 2022, November 26 exactly, there are local mayors and council members elections which we call mid-term election in the United States. After this mid-term, a little bit over a year in 2024, there will be a national election to elect the President and the Congress in Taiwan.

The current incumbent regime is the Democratic Progressive Party which is formed by the previous oppressed Taiwanese. The previous oppressors Nationalist Chinese Party, KMT, is now the opposition, and the number 3 political party is the People's Party of Taiwan under the leader of Mayor of Taipei, the Capital City of Taiwan, Wen-Jer Ko, M.D. I like DPP better than KMT from what I have learned of Chinese and my bitter experience when I was in Taiwan under Chiang's rule. 

In the competition of the mayor of Taipei, I like the obvious Ko's successor, the associate mayor Shan Shan Huang, a 20 years plus city council lady and a successful attorney at law. She is young, pretty, and working hard. I hope that she can succeed Ko's and does a good job for the city. Her parents are Chinese refugees yet she has adopted Taiwan as her nation and not very much affiliate to China and that is very important for my support. I don't like people say that Taiwan is a part of China and they are stupid. Taiwan is Taiwan and China is China, they are two nations or at least two China.

I am so glad to see that the KMT is deteriorated in Taiwan and Taiwanese will very soon to abandon KMT like abandon Chinese barrier. Taiwan will have two major language systems, Chinese and English, in 2030 for the people of Taiwan to be successful in this world.
