Taiwan’s main opposition party has elected a Beijing-leaning firebrand leader who promises to “unite” not just the Kuomintang (KMT), but also “all of Taiwan” amid the threat of a full-scale invasion by China.
Cheng Li-wun, who will lead Taiwan’s main opposition political party KMT from 1 November after being elected last week, has taken a conciliatory tone regarding China, pledging to keep peace with the giant neighbour.
