cross-Taiwan Strait relations said Saturday that Taiwan’s President-elect Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) should clarify her stance on the “1992 consensus” and her party’s platform on Taiwan independence.
Tsai and her independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) gained an overwhelming victory in both the presidential and legislative elections Saturday, beating the Kuomintang (KMT), the ruling party of Taiwan.
