How have political developments changed in Taiwan and South Korea since the 1980s?
  1. Both Taiwan and South Korea have become more authoritarian.
  2. Both Taiwan and South Korea have become democratized.
  3. Both Taiwan and South Korea have become allies to the People’s Republic of China.
  4. Both countries’ leaders now prefer to unite with their communist counterparts.
Explanation
Answer - B - Political developments have changed in Taiwan and South Korea since the 1980s in that both countries have become democratized.

Key Takeaway: Until very recently, both South Korea and Taiwan were ruled by slightly authoritarian governments-even though they were allies of the United States. Big political changes in the 1980s and 1990s however, brought about greater democratization. Presently, Taiwan had an awkward relation of rather undeclared independence from China, which considers the island a renegade province. South Korea, on the other hand, has remained divided from the North for more than 50 years.
