If Taiwan's current field of 2020 presidential contenders is any
indicator, the issue of maintaining Taiwan's self-rule status quo
against Chinese interference has passed from the hands of one political
party and landed into another. In this topsy-turvy political world in
which liberal democracies are facing political realignments left and
right, it shouldn't come as a surprise; however, in Taiwan it appears
that the once pro-status quo party has become more polarized, fielding
radical candidates who are close with Chinese officials, while the once
radical pro-independence party has had to fill in the vacuum, becoming
more pro-status quo.
