In Taiwan the ruling party candidate Lai Ching-te has won the presidential election giving his party, the DPP, an unprecedented third term. Lai secured just over 40 percent of the vote, ahead of his nearest rival in the opposition KMT. China claims Taiwan as its territory and in the run-up to the election called Lai a "dangerous separatist". The US, Germany and France are among the countries who have congratulated Taiwan on its successful election.

For more on this, we talk to Abigael Vasselier. She heads the Foreign Relations team at the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) and joins us from Berlin.
