The election is over, the winner is clear: for the third time in a row, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) will be the president in Taiwan. It is the group that, among the major parties on the island, emphasizes the independent path most strongly – which is why the People’s Republic of China also opposed the party in subtle and not so subtle ways during the election campaign.
