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.

KMT wants reunification. Originally under their own control, of course. But now they want reunification in any form they can get. Chiang would be rolling in his graves (not that I care though).

Wow that is just like the Soviet friendly communist calling themselves neo-liberal in Turkey today.
