Taipei closely watches US electionsBy Stanley Kao 高碩泰Super Tuesday, the biggest day of the US presidential primaries campaigns, is over and the results are plain for all to see. Regardless of who wins in the general election, the ripple effects would be felt in Washington’s relationships with Taipei and Beijing. Taiwan maintains a neutral stance on US presidential elections and does not show favoritism toward any particular US political party. However, Taipei pays close attention to Democrats’ and Republicans’ international relations and national security policies and dives deeply into the meaning behind their respective stances. Regardless of the results of the US’ Nov. 5 elections, the sustainability, stability and predictability of reinforcement and tenacity of bilateral relations are guaranteed.
