Tsai Ing-Wen of the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan and Taiwan's relations with China
11/14/2015
The current president Ma from the Koumintang party has seen his support drop in opinion polls to 20%. He pursued close economic ties with China, and met recently with Chinese president Xi Jinping in Singapore. Andrew Browne of the WSJ says the Taiwanese are opposed to reunification with China, and do not see integration in the manner of Hong Kong Kong's integration with China as an option. The events in Hong Kong with carefully controlled democratic governance may have led to increasing support for Taiwan to continue its current free elections and system of government.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
