In Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen has won reelection with a record number of votes in
what's being called a stingin rebuke of China. President Tsai won in a landslide on Saturday
with 57 percent of the vote and a record-breaking 8-point-2 million ballots.
Her main rival, Han Kuo-yu, of the China-friendly Kuomintang, got 39 percent.
Tsai said the results were a response to Taiwan's sovereignty and democracy being threatened.
It's a blow to mainland China, which sees Taiwan as its own and has been ramping up
economic and military pressure on the island in a bid to convince voters to support pro-China
politicians.
