It was the emergence of Taiwan's relationship with China as the Central theme in this campaign, which allows her to revive their flagging fortunes.

And the victory there is a certain amount of political irony.

Beijing, rigid, authoritarian vision of a Greater China, united, on its terms, was rejected from the bottom of my heart, in a place actually given the opportunity to vote on the concept.

And The Communist party had not turned up the pressure on Taiwan, had its approach to The Crisis in Hong Kong were more subtle, The Path to victory for a candidate, he wanted so much to cross maybe much less secure.

After the result was announced, I was asked Tsai Ing-wen, if you had the Chinese President Xi Jinping to thank for their victory.

she smiled.

The US President Tsai victory welcomed as a demonstration in Taiwan "stable democratic system".

Han Kuo-yo had favored closer ties with China

Before the vote, Ms Tsai has led in the polls as voters observed the way in the Beijing pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong .

President Tsai Taiwan's future should be decided by its 23 million people.

voters are also the decision of the next General meeting of the Taiwanese legislature, where Ms Tsai, the democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has a majority were.

Fans of Han Kuo-yu were devastated by the result of Those who assured Tsai Ing-wen, were, however, overjoyed, What is Taiwan's status?

For practical purposes, Taiwan is an independent State - it has its own elected government, Constitution and the military.

But China refuses to have diplomatic relations with any country that recognizes Taiwan as a sovereign nation.

All But a handful of countries, you selected Beijing, But by trading. The United States is also legally obliged to defend the supply Taiwan with the means to.

Where are the candidates On China ?

Ms Tsai wants to "maintain the existing mechanisms" to endanger, according to the meaning that they do not want Taiwan's De Facto Independence .

She Said : "anyone who tries to undermine Taiwan's sovereignty and democracy, or you can use them as a political pawn, will fail".

she had rejected, Taiwan ever under the "one country, two systems" political system used in Hong Kong since it returned to China in 1997, Calling it "not viable".

in an interview with the BBC This Week , She Said , Taiwan should learn "a lesson" from Hong Kong : "If we insist [on the maintenance of Taiwan Independence ], we will lose everything we have now. "

Mr. Han and his party, the Kuomintang (KMT) favour closer relations with China - what you say will bring Economic Growth , But the Association is not looking.

The KMT once ruled China before fleeing to Taiwan in 1949 after the defeat of The Communist forces in the Civil War .

Mr. Han , a high-profile visit to Hong Kong and China in March, and has said according to reports, a formal Declaration of Taiwanese Independence would be "scarier than syphilis".
