China's threats of war push Taiwan towards US
President Tsai Ing-wen has one major problem: The Communist Party is threatening her life, with its Global Times newspaper saying she would be 'wiped out' in a war.
Taipei | It's hard to find a world leader who's had a better 2020 than Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.
She won re-election in January in a landslide, oversaw one of the world's best responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and steered an economic recovery that has boosted Taiwan's stock exchange to record heights. The central bank last week revised up its 2020 growth target to 1.6 per cent, making it an outlier among global peers as most major economies shrink.
