Taiwan’s president says her re-election is a sign that the self-governing island will not bow to intimidation from China.
Tsai Ing-wen says her landslide victory over the pro-China Nationalist Party candidate Han Kuo-yu shows that Taiwan’s people are committed to defending their democracy.
Pro-independence incumbent Tsai won with 57 percent of the vote.
