In a move that has drawn criticism from Taiwan, China has decided to prolong its investigation into what it perceives as trade barriers imposed by Taiwan. The extension of this investigation has conveniently been pushed to the eve of Taiwan’s upcoming presidential election. This action by Beijing has led to accusations from Taipei, claiming that China is attempting to interfere in the democratic process of the election.
The two countries have long had a strained relationship, with China considering Taiwan as a part of its territory and exerting pressure on international recognition of the island. This move to extend the investigation further intensifies the tensions between the two sides. As the presidential election in Taiwan nears, it is evident that Beijing’s decision to prolong the investigation is a calculated move to influence the outcome of the election and potentially undermine Taiwan’s sovereignty.
