Taiwan is preparing for a historic recall vote that could unseat nearly a quarter of its opposition lawmakers, most from the Kuomintang (KMT) party, who are accused of being too close to China and obstructing parliamentary progress. The campaign, driven by grassroots activists and supported by President Lai Ching-te, has polarized the island and sparked mass rallies both for and against the recalls. Taiwan's government has accused China of actively interfering in the process, including offering incentives to sway the vote, while Chinese officials and state media have voiced support for the opposition. The outcome could dramatically shift Taiwan's political landscape and further strain cross-strait relations with Beijing. The vote is seen as a critical test of Taiwan's democracy and its resilience against external influence.
