Where
Citizens in Taiwan elected a new president and a new legislature earlier in January this year. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won in a landslide victory over the Kuomintang (KMT). The president-elect, Tsai Ing-wen, will now have a DPP single majority in the Legislative Yuan to help her fulfill her campaign promises. China has been monitoring the election and Tsai Ing-wen closely throughout the election. China has a very clear stand on the 1992 Consensus and the “One China” principle, which Tsai Ing-wen has refused to embrace during her campaign.
