 Taiwan National Election has entered to the last week/Carlos Pueblo

It is the last week for Taiwanese citizen to cast their votes to elect their National President , Vice President, and the members of the Congress, the Legislative Yuan. There are three major parties in this election, the incumbent Democratic Progressive Party DPP, the Chinese Nationalist Party KMT, and Taiwanese People's Party TPP. They are very competitive in the National President part while TPP is just enters their second time of the Congressional competition after their 4th years establishment. This election has been attracted all over the world. You can see the headline news on the world's major newspaper almost every day.

Taiwan is in a democratic political system like the Western World. People have the vote to mandate their government which in the result to manage the Nation. It is very much different from the neighboring China. Chinese have never been able to enjoy such political system in their history as a Nation. I read the news reports on the world presses about the relationship between Taiwan and China. I don't know if the reporters or any of the people who are interested in the two Nations that Taiwan has never been in one day under the current day China. Manchu Dynasty had parted Taiwan to Japan in 1895. The U.S. assigned Chiang Kai-sek's Republic of China to take over Taiwan in 1945. Mao's People Republic of China defeated ROC in 1949 and ROC was in exile to Taiwan. In 1996, there was a first time in history that Taiwan to elect its first National President. This year on January 13 is Taiwan's 7th times National Presidential Election. It has been a mandate for the Nation of Taiwan. Taiwan has nothing to do with China, one Taiwan and one China period.

I like Dr. Wen-jer Ko of the TPP. He was a tow terms Mayor of the Capital City of Taipei. A very discipline politician and scholar in the field of the medicine. I have watched him for more than 10 years. I hope that he will be elected as the President of Taiwan and lead Taiwan for a new future like a Meiji Restoration in Japan and make Taiwan like a strong Nation like Japan.
