Lai Ching-te wins presidential election
In Taiwan, the ruling party candidate Lai Ching-te has won the presidential election giving his party, the DPP, an unprecedented third term.
Lai took a comfortable lead early in the vote count ahead of his nearest rival in the opposition KMT. China claims Taiwan as its territory and in the run-up to the election called Lai a “dangerous separatist.“ The DPP champions Taiwan’s separate identity and rejects Beijing’s claims of sovereignty over the island.
