Looks like Tsai Ing-Wen has been re-elected as Taiwanese president.

I heard a report on NPR about a popular podcast in Taiwan that makes fun of politics and politicians—esp. Beijing. It underlined how young Taiwanese, especially after seeing what is happening in Hong Kong, have no interest in what Beijing is selling. A couple of interviewees even said, “I’m not Chinese, I’m Taiwanese” (I know that there are indigenous peoples there who are truly Taiwanese, but that’s not what he meant).
