Taipei, Jan. 17 (CNA) Business leaders on Saturday expressed their expectations for President-elect Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) to stabilize Taiwan’s politics and revitalize the country’s economy as soon as possible.

Rock Hsu (許勝雄), president of Taiwan’s Chinese National Federation of Industries, said the new government led by Tsai “will have no honeymoon period,” given the economic and political challenges facing the country.

Although there are still more than four months before Tsai is sworn in on May 20, it does not mean Taiwan will stay idle during that period, he said.

He urged Tsai to demonstrate her ambitions and announce her choices for the new premier and Presidential Office secretary-general as soon as possible.     [FULL  STORY]
