Taiwan elects first female president

                                                                     Tsai Ing-wen

Taiwan has elected its first female president in a landslide victory - and Chinese officials say they are "paying attention" because she is in favour of the island's independence.

Tsai Ing-wen, of the Democratic Progressive Party, has secured roughly 60% of the vote.
During her acceptance speech, she said the result was an indication of how ingrained democracy has become on the island.
However, Tsai stressed she would not be provocative in relations with China - a nod to her previous pledge to maintain the status quo of de-facto independence for the island's population of 23 million people.
It brings the eight-year rule of the China-friendly Nationalist Party to an end. Its candidate, Eric Chu, has admitted defeat after attracting just 30% of support at the polls.
