  • Opposition candidate Tsai Ing-wen won a landslide victory in Taiwan's presidential election on Saturday, bringing to power her Democratic Progressive Party, which espouses Taiwan's formal independence from China.
  • "Our democratic system, national identity and international space must be fully respected," Tsai told a news conference. "Any suppression [of those] will harm...relations" between China and Taiwan.
  • The election has been closely watched from Beijing to Washington because of the implications for cross-strait ties and regional stability.
