Taipei-based journalist Alice Hérait is our visitor on this second podcast of the month on important elections. Alice has a chunk within the January version of the paper entitled ‘Taiwan’s divided loyalties’ by which she writes in regards to the disagreements over the island’s historical past that also form its politics and its folks’s view of their future.
On this interview, she discusses the results of the elections on 13 January, a 3rd consecutive victory for the governing – and pro-sovereignty – Democratic Progressive Get together (DPP). What does this imply for Taiwan’s more and more tense relations with China, whose president calls the unification of the 2 territories a historic inevitability?
