Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te is having a bad week. It could become worse, depending on whether Washington uses Taipei as a bargaining chip in its trade talks with Beijing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/30/asia-pacific/politics/taiwan-president-us-trade/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #taiwan #laichingte #china #tsmc #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs

A failed campaign in Taiwan to unseat lawmakers has handed Beijing and the island’s opposition new ammunition against President Lai Ching-te, potentially deepening a political deadlock. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/28/asia-pacific/politics/taiwan-opposition-china-leverage/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #taiwan #china #dpp #kmt #laichingte

Taiwan’s opposition will keep its legislative majority in a blow to President Lai Ching-te’s Democratic Progressive Party, with voters overwhelmingly rejecting an attempt to recall 24 Kuomintang (KMT) lawmakers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/27/asia-pacific/politics/taiwan-recall-election-kuomintang/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #taiwan #dpp #kuomintang #china #laichingte

Taiwanese voters turned out at schools, temples and community centers on Saturday to cast their ballots in a high-stakes recall election that could give President Lai Ching-te's party control of the parliament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/26/asia-pacific/politics/taiwan-recall-vote/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #taiwan #dpp #kuomintang #china

En pleine crise politique, Taïwan revient aux urnes pour révoquer un tiers du Parlement

Deux scrutins sont organisés à #Taïwan, en juillet et en août, visant à faire partir une trentaine d’élus du parti nationaliste KMT qui contrôle le Parlement et entrave l’action du président souverainiste Lai Ching-te.

Japanese and European leaders took aim at China even as they announced a raft of deals to deepen ties at a summit in Tokyo, talks that were likely to stand in stark contrast to a similar meeting in Beijing on Thursday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/23/japan/politics/eu-japan-summit-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #china #eu #japan #eujapanrelations #pla #southchinasea #eastchinasea #disputedislands #taiwan #russiaukrainewar #northkorea
