  1. This is a puppet regime installed by the USA.

  2. Way to go Taiwan! Don’t fall for what happened to Hong Kong. Don’t trust anything the Communist party promises. HK is a perfect example of a failed two system they promised England back in 1997. There is only one system which is controlled by the Communist party.

  3. CHINA TAKING OVER SOON SO IT WILL BE A SHORT TERM

  4. Congratulations
    May democracy, peace and prosperity bless you all.
    Team work makes the dream work.

  5. Congrats to the Republic of China (Taiwan) for not caving to Communist intimidation.

  6. China has showed again its fundamental weakness. There are many more

  7. Like many before, Gonzalo Lira's blood is on your hands! Where's your justice and Democracy at now? You support War Criminals because you! The U.S. are in fact WAR CRIMINALS!!! THANK GOD! BRICS+ is taking over!

  10. Congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand

  11. Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  12. One China is a convenient delusion of the Chinese Communist Party. The international community is simply siding with the Chinese Communist Party unfairly. In fact, several countries recognize Taiwan as an independent country fairly.

  14. 🗽🇮🇱🇺🇦🇹🇼🇦🇷🇰🇷🇨🇦🇦🇺🇯🇵🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇲♥️👌

  17. Congrats!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤

  18. YES ! NOW, America Reject Drump !

  19. a "President" whose children are sent off to live in another Country – U S.A. As P.R. or Citizen of U.S.?

  20. It isa SAD day for Democracy.
    The majority of Taiwan voters lost.
    This exemplifies the vices of " Electoral" DEMO Cracy!

  21. Taiwan was democratically annexed to China.🇺🇸0🇨🇳1

  22. "In the Name of GOD—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
    All praise is for GOD—Lord of all worlds,
    the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
    Master of the Day of Judgment.
    You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.
    Guide us along the Straight Path,
    the Path of those You have blessed—not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.
    Amen."

    Please pray these words now, pray them as you read them if you cannot look and remember them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 and please begin praying on a daily basis, even if it is just once a day. It will really help you, you just have to actually do it

  23. Taiwan demonstrated a peaceful, free and democratic election process.
    We are not afraid of China's totalitarian civil and military intimidation. We Taiwanese must live by the same universal values ​​as the world.

  24. Happy to meet the guy Joe Biden just threw under the bus. Biden has been ordered to honor his bribery money. So sorry Taiwan.

  25. I'll translate for everyone: 1 large chicken lo mein, 4 order eggroll, large hot sour soup, mongolian beef extra spicy, 2 order wonton……and Xi Jinping is paying for it.

  26. Chinese standoff.

    Don't. Make. A. Sound.

  27. Congratulations from the USA 🇹🇼

  28. Democracy as in freedom of choice or democracy as in the code word the facist left is using to try to crush descenters and force their power on the population?

  29. You mean different Taiwan states didn't remove him from the ballot and Everyone could vote freely for who they wanted?Now that is democracy.

  30. It won't matter sooner or later

    Official US government policy announced by Biden is that US did not support an independent Taiwan, inviting xi to take it over

  31. You've scroll passed a lot of comments but this one will be the most up front with you. You know what's about to happen now that this man has won.

  32. 🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

  33. congrats💓 TAIWAN 🇹🇼

  34. Thats the thing with "denocracy". aka "mob rule." Its the blob of clay needed to form a consitutional republic. Without anything more than loud voices, a democracy is just a bunch of people thinking their say means anything to the loudest, most stacked, most demonic characters.

    So keep spreading the building blocks of responsible government and saying its a finished product, because it isn't, the surprise will be gone when you realize the world sees our once great nation as the largest most inept country to slip on the banana peel backwards 100 years.

  35. The title suggests this guy must be far left leaning if coming from NBC

  36. "Victory for Democracy" is code phrase for "another puppet."
