(王如玄) yesterday said that Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) has done nothing for women.

At a Hsinchu County public forum with representatives from several women’s organizations, Wang said that while she and Tsai were both female candidates in the Jan. 16 presidential and legislative elections, they were different from each other.
