Taiwan’s vice president, whose party has emphasized the island’s sovereignty, defeated an opposition party that favors reviving engagement with China.

    I wish the headlines would mention that it’s a win for the incumbent party:

    The candidate for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is current Vice President Lai Ching-te, with Hsiao Bi-khim as the running mate. The DPP has held the Presidency for eight years under the current President, Tsai Ing-we.

    It generates more clicks to make it seem like an upset, but it’s pretty normal to re-elect the incumbent party if things are going reasonably well.
