Quick takeaways
- The Taiwanese voters lacked enthusiasm for any candidate, indicating disillusionment with the DPP and little confidence in the KMT or the Taiwan People's Party.
- China's response to the Taiwan election results was surprisingly muted, suggesting a need for reassessment of its cross-Strait policies given a third DPP president and the limited popularity of Lai.
