As Taiwan's 2024 presidential election looms, candidates are placing significant emphasis on U.S.-Taiwan relations. Independent candidate Terry Gou's choice of actor Tammy Lai as his running mate raised eyebrows, as Lai will need to relinquish her U.S. citizenship prior to be a VP candidate. Furthermore, was TPP candidate Ko Wen-je's second visit to the U.S. a nod to the country's substantial influence in Taiwan's electoral process? In this episode of Taiwan Talks, we explore the impact of the U.S. on Taiwan’s presidential elections.
