Chinese President Xi Jinping has been dealt a major blow after Taiwan’s election.

President Tsai Ing-wen swept to a second four-year term on Saturday with 57 per cent of the vote. Her opponent, Han Kuo-yu, tallied 39 per cent.

More than 75 per cent of eligible voters turned out to vote on Saturday, up from 66 per cent at the 2016 election. At a speech last January, Mr Xi declared that Taiwan “must and will be” united with the PRC.

“We make no promise to abandon the use of force and retain the option of taking all necessary measures,” he said.
