Taiwan's 2024 presidential election: A choice between democracy and dictatorship? | DW News
With just two days until elections in Taiwan, three parties are gearing up for a showdown that will shape the future of the island's relations with China. While domestic issues are a major draw for voters, the influence of Beijing dominates the contest. Taiwanese voters face a choice between three parties, and 3 visions for Taiwan’s future. Taiwan's ruling party DPP is framing the election as choice between democracy and dictatorship. The KMT argues its conciliatory approach will lower the risk of war. And the TPP sells itself as the voice of long-overlooked domestic concerns, while also offering a hand to Beijing. But as ever, looming over this democracy is the threat of Chinese attack. The fundamental question facing Taiwanese voters is who can best prevent that from happening.

It is not a choice between democracy and dictatorship ( as your caption shows). Taiwan is already a full fledged democracy !
Let the Taiwan be independent forever.
Taiwan is a country - and now i broke CCP law while not in China and if i ever get to China i may end in jail.
Wish you best , Taiwan! Personally I support your democracy and your desire to be free.
Despite the serious environment, I envy the style of Taiwanese democracy. People have (relatively) decent options, and people are interested in a healthy level.
Voting in a country where your ballot has the potential to influence the entire spectrum of U.S. and China's foreign affairs must be an interesting experience. I believe Taiwan is more sovereign and independent than my own country (Spain), which requires EU permission for almost everything and possesses minimal international influence.
The candidates’ English proficiency is impressive.
Democracy is awesome 😊
I hope both elections in the US and Taiwan go well...
Friends around the world who care about Taiwan, please continue to have confidence in Taiwan and believe in Taiwan. Taiwan is an island and has never provoked disputes. The Taiwanese people only want to maintain our sovereignty and dignity and continue to communicate with the world in a democratic and harmonious manner. Please continue to pay attention to the results of the Taiwan presidential election on 1/13.
Taiwan is a country.... They deserve to defend themselves💯💯....
may god watch over the people of taiwan and bless their safety.
I'm Chinese and I hope Taiwan won't be invaded by CCP
I watched a couple of different networks reports to learn more about tomorrows Taiwan elections on KZread. I really appreciate DWs reporting on the ground combining insights with following the candidates a good in depth piece. Well done!
Democracy! I prefer a friendly neighbor. 🇵🇭
The only choice is freedom
As the Taiwan election approaches, China experiences consistent deflation over the past three months. Go Taiwan 🇹🇼! You are a beautiful and strong country. Having a President undeniably means you exist as an independent nation. Support from the Philippines 🇵🇭👍.
Common Taiwan, be like the free country that you are, pick the right person and don’t bow down to xi the poo.
I stand with the people of Taiwan for their democracy and freedom. Beijing is in NO position to interfere with the way and lifestyle of Taiwanese people.
Respect is earned not given.
