Taiwan voters reject efforts to oust pro-China lawmakers in key election
TL;DR Summary
An attempt to unseat 24 pro-China opposition politicians in Taiwan through recall votes failed, reaffirming the opposition's control of the parliament and highlighting ongoing political divisions and tensions with China. The votes, which required at least 25% support to vacate seats, were seen as a test of Taiwan's democratic resilience amid cross-strait tensions, with the opposition likely emboldened by the results.
