TAIPEI - Taiwan’s main opposition party moved to distance itself from China after one of its most senior officials lost a highly charged recall election, as attitudes harden towards Beijing on the democratic island claimed by China.
On Saturday, the KMT’s defeated presidential candidate, Han Kuo-yu, lost by a wide margin a recall vote for his position as mayor of the southern port city of Kaohsiung. The vote took place amid further tensions in Hong Kong over Beijing’s move last month to impose national security legislation on the city, a measure strongly opposed by all Taiwan’s main parties in a rare show of unity.
