TAIWAN - The Vote

"In Taiwan, presidential election brings long-simmering tensions with China to the surface" PBS NewsHour 1/9/2020

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  For decades, Taiwan's political status has been a contentious issue between the U.S. and China.  The U.S. considers it a real democracy, while mainland China sees a rogue province that should be under Communist control.  Taiwanese voters will elect their next president Saturday, in a decision with major implications for Taiwan and U.S.-China relations.  Special correspondent Divya Gopalan reports.
