An Analysis of the Results and Implications of the 2024 Taiwan's"Two-in-One"Elections
The 2024 Taiwan's leader and legislator elections took place amidst continued strategic competition between China and the United States as well as a complex and tense cross-Straits situation.The major political parties on the island engaged in fierce competition,departing from Taiwan's traditional political ecological pattern.Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party(DPP)won the leadership election with a relative majority of less than half of the votes,while the result of legislature election presented a new situation of"no single party of the three winning over the half".It reflects the accelerated polarization of public opinion and the emergence of a new political landscape characterized by diverse competition among parties.In the next four years,the political situation on the island is likely to be tumultuous under the rule of the DPP,which holds a disadvantaged position in overall popularity,legislative seats,and local government representation.And the legislature will be the focal point of contention among political parties.The confrontational and uncertain nature of cross-Straits relations will continue to escalate,making the situation in the Taiwan Straits even more complex and precarious.However,the development and progress of the Chinese mainland will continue to enhance its dominant position in cross-Straits relations.The four years of DPP's ruling of Taiwan region will not change the basic pattern of cross-Straits relations'development.
