The 2.5-hour debate will be divided into four segments, beginning with an 8-minute opening statement by each of the three candidate. In the second segment, the candidates will take five questions posed by media outlets and be given 2 minutes and 30 seconds to answer each of the questions.

Taiwan’s relationship with China was the focus of the presidential debate on Sunday afternoon (Dec. 29) in which President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) accused her main challenger, Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) of the Kuomintang (KMT), of kowtowing to China.

El debate, organizado por el regulador legislativo Citizen Congress Watch (CCW) y Formosa TV (FTV), fue el primero de una serie de ejercicios televisados para las elecciones del 11 de enero.
