Taiwan's election
    #28634491 - 01/25/24 01:04 PM (2 days, 7 hours ago)

Kind of surprised no one is talking about this. Am I alone in thinking this was a significant geopolitical event?

Well I don't think everything is going China's way. That's not to say everything is going the way of the US either of course. It's very fluid. China would have greatly preferred the KMT party to win or have majority in the legislature. That doesn't mean there wasn't a plan in place for this outcome, especially given the way it was polling heading into the election.

The US obviously has long term ambitions to move away from any sort of dependency on Taiwan. But short term there is a heavy investment in not losing the golden goose. And that investment is clearly impacting China's policies. Which in turn impacts US policies. And the dynamism continues.

The ways the US has structured the underwater fiber lines and communications around China are fascinating. Espionage is crazy in the modern era.
