Taiwanese Democracy

Taiwanese democracy refers to the political system in Taiwan, which is a vibrant, multi-party democracy. Established in the late 1980s after decades of authoritarian rule, it allows citizens to participate in free and fair elections. Taiwan's government is characterized by a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Voter turnout is typically high, reflecting active civic engagement. Taiwan enjoys a robust civil society and a free press, contributing to its democratic culture. Despite pressures from mainland China, many Taiwanese strongly identify with their democratic values and seek to maintain their political autonomy.
