DPP Lai's win in Taiwan's ๐น๐ผ presidential contest
is a big win for the Taiwanese people and a huge loss for the Chinese regime.
It doesn't matter how many times the Chinese regime repeats the lies,
– Taiwan ๐น๐ผ is still an independent country.
Congratulations ๐ to Taiwanโs ๐น๐ผnew President Lai and Vice President Hsiao โค

Relations between Taiwan and Asian powers, Japan and Korea, could become stronger.
Congratulations to Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lai Ching-de on his election.
DEMOCRACY rules. And you can too, China.
And yet 60% of the vote was for unification or peaceful co-operation with China.
Maybe this is the last president of Taiwan
0:46 The winner Lai got "only" 40% of the votes. The KMT's Hou received 33%.
Freedom is non-negotiable!
i love uk,from china
Congrats President elect Lai and VP!
From Siberia, I wish people of Taiwan all the best! And people of Ukraine too!
the next Ukraine in south east asia
Congratulations ๐ ๐น๐ผ
This is a huge win for Taiwan. The great and beautiful people of Taiwan will live free and they are willing to fight for their rights!
Huge win
Majority is not always right
The Guardian better watch with it's pro-sovereignty headlines, they might veer in to the far right.
Jeez, third term. Catching up with Putin fourth term.
