Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - BEIJING — China on Sunday criticized Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for what it called “political manipulation” after all 24 opposition Kuomintang (KMT) lawmakers targeted in a recall vote retained their seats, according to state-run Xinhua News Agency.
In Saturday’s vote, the KMT scored a sweeping victory, successfully defending all its contested seats and maintaining opposition control of Taiwan’s legislature in alliance with the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP).
Reacting to the results, Chen Binhua, spokesman for China’s State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, accused the DPP of pursuing “Taiwan independence” and attempting to dominate the legislature by inciting political conflict.
“The DPP has repeatedly used tactics to silence dissenting voices, creating a climate of green terror, and fueling social division,” Chen said, describing the party’s approach as “fake democracy, real authoritarianism.”
Among those who faced recall attempts were high-profile KMT lawmakers from Taipei and New Taipei, including Hung Meng-kai, who had won the highest number of votes in Taiwan’s 2024 legislative election.
Ann Kao, the suspended mayor of Hsinchu and former TPP member, also faced a recall challenge following her conviction in a corruption case.
While the DPP denies orchestrating the recall efforts, party leader and Taiwanese President William Lai Ching-te has openly backed efforts to unseat opposition lawmakers.
A second round of recall votes is scheduled for August 23, as the DPP hopes to trigger by-elections that could help it reclaim a legislative majority.
The votes come at a time when the DPP, having lost its legislative majority last year, faces mounting challenges in pushing forward its policy agenda. A successful recall would mandate a by-election within three months in the affected district. — Agencies
