William Lai, Who China Sees as ‘troublemaker’, Wins Taiwan Election

The DPP’s William Lai is set to be Taiwan’s next president, after his closest rival, the opposition Kuomintang, conceded defeat

Lai has been labelled a troublemaker by China, who warned people against voting for him, while KMT had promised better ties with Beijing and peace in the Taiwan Strait

A third party, the Taiwan People’s Party, was on the ballot – but its leader has also now conceded to the DPP

Taiwan is a democratic island that governs itself – but it is claimed by mainland China and has no international recognition as a country

A total of 113 legislative seats are also being contested today
