A veteran China-friendly politician joined the race for Taiwan’s presidency in a potential blow to Beijing, ramping up the pressure on its preferred candidate as he struggles to reinvigorate a flagging campaign to unseat President Tsai Ing-wen.
People First Party Chairman James Soong announced that he plans to make a fourth bid for Taiwan’s presidency at a briefing in Taipei on Wednesday.
A Soong campaign would likely hurt the chances of the Kuomintang’s candidate, Han Kuo-yu, since he and Soong both draw support from voters who favour eventual unification with China.
