By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

🇹🇼 Taiwan voters ignore China warnings
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.axios.com%
Taiwan President-elect William Lai attends a rally in Taipei after his victory today. Photo: Ann Wang/Reuters

TAIPEI — Taiwan's ruling party candidate, William Lai (Lai Ching-te), won today's presidential election after the opposition candidate conceded defeat, Axios China author Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian writes.

Why it matters: The election was viewed as a referendum on Taiwan's cross-Strait policies after eight years of Democratic Progress Party rule and growing pressure from Beijing.

The Chinese government warned against voting for Lai, the current vice president, saying his election would "trigger cross-Strait confrontation and conflict."

  • The Chinese government is likely to ratchet up its pressure campaign against Taiwan in response to the election of a politician Beijing called a "separatist through and through."

"I want to thank the Taiwanese people for writing a new chapter in our democracy. We have shown the world how much we cherish our democracy," Lai said after winning.

  • Lai said he'll uphold the cross-Strait status quo and pursue dialogue with China — but that he's "determined to safeguard Taiwan from continuing threats and intimidation from China."
