Taiwan's DPP candidate William Lai wins election.

Taiwan's recent election saw the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate, William Lai, win against the Kuomintang (KMT) candidate, despite China's efforts to sway popular support towards the KMT. Lai's victory marks a rejection by Taiwanese voters of China's influence on their politics. Meanwhile, Tuvalu's new Prime Minister, Kausea Natano, chose Taiwan over Beijing, citing values of democracy and loyalty. Both events signal a defiance against Chinese influence and a commitment to uphold democratic principles.
