Unveiling the Unpredictability: Cook County State’s Attorney Nominee Race Still Hanging in Balance

The aftermath of Tuesday’s election in Illinois has witnessed numerous races being called, but one significant contest remains shrouded in uncertainty. The race to determine the Democratic Party’s nominee for Cook County State’s Attorney is proving to be too close to call, with both candidates locked in a neck-and-neck battle.

Eileen O’Neill Burke currently holds a narrow lead over Clayton Harris as of 5 a.m. Wednesday. With 99% of precincts reporting, their fate hangs by merely 9,000 votes. However, this margin seems inconsequential considering the outstanding mail-in ballots that are still undergoing processing.

Amid growing tensions across the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan’s defense minister hinted that the U.S. military has been training Taiwanese troops on offshore islands and that the islands would be on the front lines if a conflict breaks out between Taiwan and mainland China.

Taiwan’s Defense Minister Chiu Guo-cheng did not disclose details of the deployment of US troops, but said that the outlying islands include Kinmen, which is located 3 miles east of the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen and more than 100 miles from the main island of Taiwan.

On Thursday, Qiu Guozheng said in response to a question about the stationing of U.S. troops on Taiwan’s outlying islands: “Exchange means observing each other to see if we have any problems and how to improve them. We can learn from it.”

Qiu Guo made the above remarks in response to questions raised by a Sofrep report. The report said that U.S. Special Forces instructors will be sent to Kinmen and other outlying islands where Taiwan’s elite troops are stationed. Sofrep is a news website focusing on national security issues.

U.S. Pentagon spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Marty Meiners said he would not comment on specific operations or training. “Our commitment to Taiwan is rock-solid and we will help maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and in the region,” he said.

Qiu Guozheng said that Taiwan’s military “may have some blind spots or shortcomings” and needs to communicate and observe with friendly teams or countries.
