Taiwan’s Presidential Election -- A Referendum on the CCP?

On January 11, 23 million Taiwanese people will elect their next president and a new Legislative Yuan, which is one of the five branches of government in Taiwan.

What will the upcoming presidential election in Taiwan bring to all parties concerned? Let’s explore in today’s episode of Zooming In.
