Today is September 8. But the mistake in an article by CHRISTOPHER
BODEEN, Updated 9:44 PM EDT, September 5, 2024 is still not corrected.
In general, publications are as good as their readers. A matter of
informed and interested readers.

"Ko finished third with about a quarter of the vote in this year’s
election, which was won by the DPP’s William Lai Ching-te, whose party
favors continued de-facto independence from China. The TPP won just
under 3% of the seats in the legislature."

In reality, the TPP won 8 seat in the legislature. 8 out of 113 is 7%.
