Taipei, April 16 (CNA) President-elect Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) urged young women to be curious, insubordinate and courageous, as well as establish a connection with society, during a meeting with female high school students Saturday.

Tsai, chairwoman of the Democratic Progressive Party, who will become Taiwan’s first-ever female president when she takes office on May 20, said that some high school students would think that they should just focus on studying and ignore what happens in the outside world.

But she disagreed with this mindset and instead, encouraged them to become connected with society and be socialized, during the meeting with about 400 high school students from around Taiwan.     [FULL  STORY]
