Taiwan is gearing up for a significant political transition as Lai Ching-te is set to be sworn in as the new president on Monday. Lai, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party, will be taking over from the current president, marking an unprecedented third consecutive presidential term for their party.
However, Lai will be stepping into office without a parliamentary majority, posing potential challenges for the implementation of his agenda. One of the key issues facing the new president is the ongoing tension with China, which has not shied away from the possibility of military action against Taiwan.
