Will A Tech Billionaire Become Taiwan’s President?

The Taiwanese presidential election is set for January next year, and the race has gotten a bit more interesting with Foxconn founder Terry Gou running as an independent, making it a 4 horse race. Meanwhile, the newer Taiwan People’s Party has been gaining support as a potential force that could change the game at the polls. Brian Hioe, Co-Founding Editor of New Bloom Magazine gives us some insight into the dynamics of politics in Taiwan and how the elections could shape up.
