Taiwanese people have given China a collective and well-deserved two-finger salute by re-electing the ruling party, a staunch defender of the country’s independence.

The Democratic Progressive Party has won a third consecutive victory, amidst warnings from Beijing that this fact would increase the risk of armed conflict. China has long aspired to annex Taiwan a la Putin, claiming sovereignty, despite never having actually ruled the nation.
