Taiwan voters choosing next president in poll weighing China's threat and island's stability
Saturday, 13 January 2024 Taiwanese are casting their votes Saturday for a new president and legislature in an election that could chart the trajectory of the self-ruled democracy's relations with China over the next four years. At stake is the peace and stability of the island 160 kilometers (100 miles) off the coast of China that Beijing claims as its own, to be retaken by force if necessary. Domestic issues such as the sluggish economy and expensive housing also featured prominently in the campaign.
The idea of a distinctly Taiwanese identity is looming large in the minds of some voters as the island prepares to go to the polls on Saturday to elect a new president and choose the path of relations with Beijing over the next four years.
