Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The election on Saturday of Taiwan's vice president and candidate of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, Lai Ching-te, to be the island's next leader highlights Taiwanese voters' support for political continuity, but may add fresh uncertainty into already frosty relations with China.
45% : Some members of former President Donald Trump's administration, including his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have voiced support for non-traditional positions, like offering Taiwan formal diplomatic recognition, which could trigger a crisis.
