Thursday TIME magazine named Taiwan’s president-elect Tsai Ing-wen in its 
annual list of the most influential people in the world.
The magazine named Tsai on its list of ‘Leaders’, while other notable figures in this category include the IMF chief Christine Lagarde, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and China’s President Xi Jinping.
The list is divided into five categories: pioneers, titans, artists, leaders and icons. Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and actor Leonardo Di Caprio are also named.
