Lai Ching-te hails a “victory for democracy” after being elected president by Taiwan’s voters, defying warnings from Beijing not to support a candidate it has called a separatist and a “troublemaker.”

#Taiwan #LaiChingte #WorldNews
Democracy = tyranny
Tawian is independent!
Hallelujah may there be wisdom strength peace and United
It’s all fun and games until China invades.
This is great! Now all the Democrats who think the USA is a Democracy can relocate to Taiwan!😃
BLACKS MEXICANS NATIVE AMERICANS WE ARE GOD CHOSEN PEOPLE THE TRUE HEBREW ISRAELITES OF THE EARTH
So if the people had voted for the other guy, would democracy have lost? That’s literally how democracy works, I think the word they mean is liberalism.
This election demonstrates that Taiwan is an independent country, not a province of China as claimed by Xi Jing Ping.
China mad 🤣
As a member of the 5% who can find Taiwan on a map, I support Taiwan. However, I couldn’t care less about their situation, and I certainly don’t want war over it. Defending Taiwan will be a tough sell to the American public. I think it’ll be an impossible sell.
I’d probably point to Hong Kong 😔
They make 90% of the world’s advanced microprocessors. You sucking off China first to build anything ever again ?
Dude, ever since all the Gen Zs realized who made the chips in their smart phones, game consoles and PCs, they all learned where Taiwan is.
Defending Taiwan 🇹🇼 to the American people it be easy sell when u mention there wallet ..meaning material goods about to cost u even more ..alot of goods we buy say made in Taiwan,,they make goods affordable for poor and Middle class Americans wallets ..if China took over Taiwan we go into a big big recession china would start crushing our market and trade with Taiwan to bring our economy down..u think prices are high now it be even higher…
@@DejectedCat Nonsense. If you polled Gen Zers right now, I’d be surprised if half of them could spell Taiwan, let alone find it on a map. Wishful thinking on your behalf. And there’s nothing special about a rock in the middle of the ocean. Taiwan is not a magical place. Pretty much everything is already made in China, so clearly we’re not that worried. Regardless, semiconductors can be made elsewhere.
And that’s how you do it. No fighting are lying about a stole election.
China aint about to let this slide
Paper ballots and voter ID for the win
When the MSM propagandist troglodytes think this is a good thing, then you know it’s really not.
Which one did democrats want to win? Because then I may or may not like this 😂
Hallelujah! Awesome!
This guy far left or normal?
He’s very much West leaning as opposed to his opponent who is more China leaning. So take that what you will.
Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek never declared Independence because he always thought of the island as Chinese, even though his forces were on the losing side against the Communists. Subsequently US and other democracies didnt recognize Taiwan as its own country. Big mistake.
Democracy is garbage 🗑️
Taiwanese：we just want independence without a fight😂
KMT subordination to CCP is where I stop supporting the KMT. Instead of being subordinate to CCP they should restore the goal to reclaim mainland China and establish 1947 ROC constitution.
He went to Harvard didn’t he. We installed another one
More like a victory for election rigging. Nobodys stupid.
Now CCP and their wumaos can cry like hyena 😅
Too bad it’s not a real country 😉😂
😮 freedom from communism 😊
The mainstream announcing “victory for democracy” almost certainly means the opposite.
Taiwan independent Nation!! Free democratic nation!! Xin Jin ping is Rat 🐀 dictator!! 😂
Congrats to Taiwan
“Victory for Democracy” is code phrase for “another puppet.”
China not happy
The title suggests this guy must be far left leaning if coming from NBC
Thats the thing with “denocracy”. aka “mob rule.” Its the blob of clay needed to form a consitutional republic. Without anything more than loud voices, a democracy is just a bunch of people thinking their say means anything to the loudest, most stacked, most demonic characters.
So keep spreading the building blocks of responsible government and saying its a finished product, because it isn’t, the surprise will be gone when you realize the world sees our once great nation as the largest most inept country to slip on the banana peel backwards 100 years.
congrats💓 TAIWAN 🇹🇼
🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
Yes!!!!
Good
You’ve scroll passed a lot of comments but this one will be the most up front with you. You know what’s about to happen now that this man has won.
Yeah I dint see how people are really happy given the consequence. When I looked up more into this i was like “this is not good.”
Yeah, China will invade them and Biden just gave China the OK to do by saying “we don’t support independence” of Taiwan.
The party has been in power since the 90s. It was not really logical that China’s friendly candidate has done much to quell the concerns of the people that live there. China wants a fight. Somehow, you guys thought they never had a choice.
It won’t matter sooner or later
Official US government policy announced by Biden is that US did not support an independent Taiwan, inviting xi to take it over
You mean different Taiwan states didn’t remove him from the ballot and Everyone could vote freely for who they wanted?Now that is democracy.
Democracy as in freedom of choice or democracy as in the code word the facist left is using to try to crush descenters and force their power on the population?
Congratulations from the USA 🇹🇼
Paper ballots too!
Chinese standoff.
Don’t. Make. A. Sound.
I’ll translate for everyone: 1 large chicken lo mein, 4 order eggroll, large hot sour soup, mongolian beef extra spicy, 2 order wonton……and Xi Jinping is paying for it.
Happy to meet the guy Joe Biden just threw under the bus. Biden has been ordered to honor his bribery money. So sorry Taiwan.
AMEN 👍🇺🇸
又一读稿机
Taiwan demonstrated a peaceful, free and democratic election process.
We are not afraid of China’s totalitarian civil and military intimidation. We Taiwanese must live by the same universal values as the world.
Good for you guys!
Kia kaha
China’s recent history of illegal wars, occupations, regime change, and proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, are indeed a cause for concern.
@@kevinjenner9502Same with America under Biden, who is on China’s side.
This shows Taiwan wants to exist I have no problem with china reuniting but the Taiwanese people have the final vote and if Taiwan doesnt want China than China they won’t have!
“In the Name of GOD—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
All praise is for GOD—Lord of all worlds,
the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
Master of the Day of Judgment.
You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.
Guide us along the Straight Path,
the Path of those You have blessed—not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.
Amen.”
Please pray these words now, pray them as you read them if you cannot look and remember them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 and please begin praying on a daily basis, even if it is just once a day. It will really help you, you just have to actually do it
Taiwan was democratically annexed to China.🇺🇸0🇨🇳1
It isa SAD day for Democracy.
The majority of Taiwan voters lost.
This exemplifies the vices of ” Electoral” DEMO Cracy!
a “President” whose children are sent off to live in another Country – U S.A. As P.R. or Citizen of U.S.?
YES ! NOW, America Reject Drump !
Congrats!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Good going need more Democracies. Wish you all well and good prosperity.
做票总统
60% voted against him
You don‘t know anything about democracy, do you?
@@alexandervt641 if they 2 way context like the US. He would have lost
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Congrats to him

Taiwan is Thailand?
One China is a convenient delusion of the Chinese Communist Party. The international community is simply siding with the Chinese Communist Party unfairly. In fact, several countries recognize Taiwan as an independent country fairly.
Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand
Taiwan Democracy and Freedom Triumph over Communist China.
China is probably having a seizure rn xD
Like many before, Gonzalo Lira’s blood is on your hands! Where’s your justice and Democracy at now? You support War Criminals because you! The U.S. are in fact WAR CRIMINALS!!! THANK GOD! BRICS+ is taking over!
China has showed again its fundamental weakness. There are many more
Congrats to the Republic of China (Taiwan) for not caving to Communist intimidation.
Or to Biden’s intimidation.
This is not good.
Congratulations
May democracy, peace and prosperity bless you all.
Team work makes the dream work.
CHINA TAKING OVER SOON SO IT WILL BE A SHORT TERM
Way to go Taiwan! Don’t fall for what happened to Hong Kong. Don’t trust anything the Communist party promises. HK is a perfect example of a failed two system they promised England back in 1997. There is only one system which is controlled by the Communist party.
Amen. We did it again
This is a puppet regime installed by the USA.
West Taiwan needa chill
China really played themselves on this one with all that saber-rattling. Of course trying to impose your will on the historical vessel for Kuomintang resistance would galvanize the voters against you lol, they’ve blamed you for everything since the Nanjing Incident ya dummies
Arsenal of Democracy 💘🇺🇲🇹🇼🇮🇱🇺🇦💘
Need to remove the uS and Israeli flag but otherwise l agree.
“We are not for independence.” Joe Biden, responding to Taiwan’s election and giving his boss in China, Xi, the greenlight to invade Taiwan
lol they’re just white washed Chinese ppl why are we always involved in controversial bs in the world. This has nothing to do with us 😂
congrats for Taiwan❤
🎉🎉
🇺🇸 🤝 🇹🇼
Taiwan has its own democratic government and military and is at odds with mainland China. Do you understand? Taiwan is clearly an independent country. The original mistake is that the international community does not recognize Taiwan as an independent country.
Yes to Democracy 👍! No to unifying with an autocratic communist dictatorship government👎! Congratulations to Taiwan 🇹🇼 and to President Lai Ching-Te! But of course my deepest condolences to China since the victory of democracy truly hurts China! Ouch! 😂
Best wishes to your new president elect and to the people of Taiwan. A good way to start your New Year 🙂
建議您偶而會安排爬山郊遊戶外運動 我先生高中職同學多年前打麻將打到了中風倒下的 現同學會常常會澄清湖泡茶 台中爬山 柴山 半屏山 ,,,,
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats
Taiwan’s status quo is a province of China, and the Democratic Progressive Party also supports China’s reunification.
Tsai Ing-wen’s inaugural speech on May 20, 2020: We will continue to abide by the Constitution of the Republic of China and the Regulations on Relations with People on Both Sides of the Strait to handle cross-strait affairs. This is our consistent position to maintain the status quo of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
“Additional Articles to the Constitution of the Republic of China”: In order to meet the needs before the reunification of the country…
“Regulations on Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area”:
Article 1: Before the reunification of the country, this Regulation is specially formulated to ensure the security of Taiwan and the well-being of the people, regulate the exchanges between people in Taiwan and the mainland, and deal with derivative legal matters.
Article 2: The terms used in these regulations are defined as follows:
1. Taiwan Region: refers to Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu and other areas within the jurisdiction of the government.
2. Mainland area: refers to the territory of the Republic of China outside the Taiwan area.
3. People of Taiwan Area: refers to people with household registration in Taiwan Area.
4. People of the Mainland Area: refers to people with household registration in the Mainland Area.
Congratulations!
Cheating😢

60% of Taiwan voters don’t support DPP separatists aka US puppets, thanks God
So laughable the rest of the world has to pretend that communist China owns Taiwan
I stand firmly with Taiwan
No one talks about how the DPP just lost majority seats in Taiwan’s Parliament with the Pro-China KMT party now gaining the majority. This will make it difficult for the new president to pass legislation to achieve his CIA backed agenda
Taiwan No.1 China No.19
Taiwanese seem like good people Id love to visit, we just hope China keeps the status quo so eeryone can stay at peace. 🇺🇸
