The results are in for the world’s first election of 2024. In Taiwan, voters chose their next leader—exactly the man the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t want.

How will the Chinese regime respond to Taiwan’s choice? And amid the rising risk of an invasion, how can the United States glean insight from Taiwan’s road to 2024? An expert breaks it down.
