Assistant Professor Wei-Ting Yen from Franklin and Marshall College provides a comprehensive analysis of Taiwan's highly anticipated 2024 election. Delving into the three-way race involving the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's Vice President William Lai, opposition candidates Hou You-yih and Ko Wen-je, Yen explores the election's focal points—domestic issues like housing prices, low wages, and crucial cross-strait relations with China.

As geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China play a pivotal role, Yen underscores the global implications of Taiwan's political landscape and its significant impact on peace, democracy in Asia, and the world's semiconductor industry. Join us as we unravel the complexities, key players, and potential consequences that make Taiwan's 2024 election a crucial watch for global citizens.
