Taiwan’s first female president being has been sworn in. <br /><br /> Tsai Ing-wen’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won by a landslide on voter resistance to creeping dependence on neighbouring China. <br /><br /> Beijing is deeply distrustful of her DPP who promotes a “sovereign and independent” Taiwan.<br /><br /> Communists say they rule all of China, including Taiwan, while nationalists maintain Taipei is the ruler. <br /><br /> Tsai said she will safeguard Taiwan’s sovereignty and territory and the island would be a “staunch guardian of peace.”<br /><br /> Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan’s first female president. pic.twitter.com/IDHpQY6XnJ— Wilfred Chan (@wilfredchan) May 20, 2016
