As Hong Kong Seethes, Taiwan Prepares for Presidential Election

Taiwan is a sovereign country with its own government and military, yet it lacks international recognition and is not a member of the UN or IMF. The US is a key ally but does not have an embassy in Taiwan. China is frustrated with Taiwan's refusal to accept its rule, leading to tensions. Taiwan's President has focused on military and economic diversification, while her opponent, Han Kuo Yu, has rejected the Hong Kong model of limited autonomy. Declaring independence is seen as a red line with potential military and political consequences.

What was Han Kuo Yu's position on Hong Kong's one country, two systems model?

What are the potential consequences of declaring independence for Taiwan according to Han Kuo Yu?
