Taiwan Communiqué no. 130 is off the press

We are pleased to let you know that the new issue of Taiwan Communiqué is just off the press (attached). This issue starts with a hot item: the results of the “Big Five” elections which were held in Taiwan on Saturday November 27th for the mayors of Taiwan’s five major cities.

While the Kuomintang won three out of the five seats, the DPP received a larger percentage of the overall vote (49.9% versus the KMT’s 44.5%) while the DPP also made major gains in the city councils, pulling even with the KMT, setting the stage for next year’s legislative elections.We then move to the issue of China’s increasing belligerence in East Asia, resulting in increasing tension from the Korean Peninsula down to the South China, including the tension between China and Japan over the Senkakus. The question is which way the Ma government in Taiwan is leaning.
