Summary/Abstract: On 13 January, Taiwan held presidential and parliamentary elections. Vice President Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won the presidency. The DPP, however, lost the majority in the unicameral parliament, which will make governing more difficult. China, which is hostile in particular to the DPP, will continue hybrid warfare against it. The announcement of a continuation of policy and the election of Hsiao Bi-khim as vice-president will stabilise Taiwan-U.S. relations. Lai also wants to continue cooperation with Europe to diversify Taiwan’s relations and reduce its dependence on China.
