Description:
- Taiwan should abandon its "hallucinations" about pushing for independence, as any moves towards it would be a "poison", Chinese state-run media said after a landslide victory for the island's independence-leaning opposition. Tsai Ing-wen and her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a convincing victory in both presidential and parliamentary elections on Saturday, in what could usher in a new round of instability with China, which claims self-ruled Taiwan as its own.
