Tale ved Rotary Club vestsjælland (Suså)
Taiwans politiske udvikling: Indenrigsfokus og globale udfordringer
Efter valget den 13. januar står Taiwan ved en politisk skillevej. I løbet af de sidste 20 år har øens identitet og prioriteter ændret sig, hvor indenrigspolitiske spørgsmål nu fylder mere i den offentlige debat end forholdet til Kina. Dette oplæg undersøgte Taiwans politiske transformation, de udfordringer de etablerede partier står over for, og hvordan normaliseringen af Taiwan som nation skaber både muligheder og udfordringer – både internt og på den internationale scene.

Tale ved det Udenrigspolitiske Selskab
Hvor er på Taiwan på vej hen efter valget i januar?
Efter valget er blikket allerede rettet mod 2028, hvor den politiske sejr vil gå til dem, der bedst forstår og adresserer taiwanernes utilfredshed. På trods af den militære trussel fra Kina er det den interne udvikling, reformer og den nationale identitet, der fylder mest i debatten. Med over 62% af befolkningen, der identificerer sig som taiwanere, og kun en lille minoritet, der ønsker forening med Kina, står Taiwan over for en afgørende periode. De kommende fire år frem til 2028 kan cementere den permanente adskillelse mellem Taiwan og Kina – en udvikling, som både Taiwan, Kina og det internationale samfund må tage stilling til.
