President of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
On JudgeMarket, Lai Ching-te trades in the contested middle of the contemporary Taiwan book — a live, high-beta asset rather than a settled legacy. The bid reflects an unbroken political climb from Tainan mayor to premier to president, a Harvard public-health pedigree, and a clear pro-sovereignty stance that rallies the DPP base. The offer is supplied by a legislature where the DPP lost its majority, a cross-strait environment that treats every statement as a provocation, and the structural difficulty of following an eight-year Tsai presidency without a honeymoon. Compared to Tsai Ing-wen, Lai trades at a discount on track record and stability premium; against KMT-aligned names like Han Kuo-yu or Cheng Li-wun, he prices higher in pan-green baskets and lower in pan-blue ones. Volatility is high — this is a live-market name, re-rated on every cross-strait cycle until history settles the tape.
