The Taiwanese government has accused China of mounting a huge misinformation campaign to try and influence the outcome of the island’s presidential election in a little over two weeks’ time.

Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is attempting to win an unprecedented third consecutive term.

China sees self-ruled Taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually be under Beijing’s control.

The DPP’s presidential and vice-presidential candidates have both been banned from traveling to China or Hong Kong.

  2. Taiwan is China. In the United States, pressure is also exerted on candidates on the eve of elections, and this is considered the norm, as is commonly believed, in a democratic state.

  3. this is some of the most biased reporting by the BBC. just anti china from the get go. they didnโ€™t even bother to make it slightly balanced ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  4. Why have we got a white woman presenting BBC!!!!! Remove her immediately and stick an ethnic news reader on now ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก.

  6. who tf still believes what the BBC says?? Especially when the BBC reporter is telling us what was said over the radio… Ok buddy, we definitely believe what you're saying..

  7. Israel has killed many civilians, including aid workers, journalists and hostages. More than 20,000 Palestinians have lost their lives (mostly women and children).
    Yasmin Porat survived October 7th and she stated that IDF killed Israeli captives (Haboker Hazeh radio program on 15 October 2023).
    Israel bombed the third oldest church in the world (Gaza Greek Orthodox Church), civilian convoy, Rafah crossing, refugee camp etc. Israel used white phosphorus in civilian areas. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited by the Geneva Conventions and customary international law.,

  8. Taiwan is historic Chinese territory that belongs to the entirety of the millenial Chinese civilization and not just to a fraction of them.
    Reunification is inevitable and Taiwan must decide if it will take place peacefully or as with Taiwan as a pile of rubble abandoned by the same people who are abandoning Ukraine and recently, unceremoniously abandoned the Afghan people at hands of Talibam head choppers.
    Doing the same mistake as Volodimir Zelensky and trusting Americans and europeans will mean the ruin of Taiwan.

  9. There is no such a thing Taiwan's airspace ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    Not even the UN recognises Taiwan as a country. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    Chinese provinces have no independent airspace ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    No one can fool reality those who insist end abandoned and in ruins like Vietnam, South Korea, Lebanom, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine.

  10. China can build all the planes it wants. It sounds like these citizens of Taiwan want to remain free to pursue their own destiny even in the face of aggressive intimidation. China will not defeat that.

  11. Taiwan people now are much more advanced, privileged, free lively country. If china occupies forcibly like Tibet, the small nation will be a ghost country.

  12. Would western medias make up their minds?
    Isn't the story of China's military invasion on Taiwan, the main message you tried to put across to everyone in the world?
    If so, why should China bother about influencing the election in Taiwan?
    Try to influence the election then invasion can be easy or get China to feel higher?
