- Abstract
Taiwan's 2024 election resulted in the DPP breaking the "two term curse" and retaining the presidency for a third consecutive term despite a vigorous disinformation campaign by China. As polls predicted, current vice-president William Lai Ching-te and running mate Hsiao Bi-khim won with a little over 40 percent of the vote besting KMT candidate Hou Yu-ih's 33.49 percent and the TPP's Ko Wenje at 26.49 percent, Iii the Legislative Yuan, the KMT won 52 seats, the DPP 51, and eight for the TPP, leaving the TPP with the balance of power. China responded with shows of force, changing a flight path that further constricts the pre-warning and reaction time for Taiwan's air defense, and persuading Nauru to break diplomatic ties with Taiwan in favor of recognizing China.
