Title

Taiwan in 2016: A new era?

Abstract

The opposition Democratic Progressive Party won decisive victories in the Legislative Yuan and presidential elections. Despite these victories, 2016 proved to be a difficult year for Taiwan's new ruling party. As 2016 drew to a close, polls showed that most of Taiwan's population disapproved of Tsai Ing-wen's performance as president.
