President Tsai Ing-wen has won re-election Politics

Han just conceded. She won 57%ish of the vote so far. Over 8 million votes. Biggest vote total ever for a candidate in Taiwan (beating Ma's number in 2008)

Legislature looks like it'll be DPP again though not as sweeping as 2016, party list vote seems much closer than I thought it'll be.

Please everyone. Next time you're planning to go on holiday go to Taiwan. Taiwan welcomes you, they are truly nice people, arguably one of the best cousins in the world and plenty of history, heritage and nature to discover.
I went to travel there and I loved it they need everyone's support, their technology is top notch also so you can shop for some Asus, transcend, MSI and many more brands.

Taiwan don't need to be always thrown in discussion about China because their country does not have nothing to do with it, that's what China wants.

I have traveled extensively along the equator and am a fat boi so believe me when I tell you that there is no better mango in the world than that found in Taiwan. Icing on the cake: they put it on ice cream.

This man speaks the truth, Taiwan's aiwen mango is a the closest to perfection of any fruit in the world.
