Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen is stepping down after an eight-year tenure. She leaves office with a 42% satisfaction rate, according to a poll by broadcaster TVBS.
Milestones of her administration include overseeing the legalization of same-sex marriage, almost doubling defense spending and kickstarting military modernization. However, critics argue that she’s been unable to improve domestic issues including low wages, a rising cost of living and a declining birth rate.
We CONNECTED with Kristy Hsu, director of the Taiwan ASEAN Studies Center at the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research, and Michael Hunzeker, an associate professor at the Schar School of Policy and Government, to look back at the achievements and shortfalls of the Tsai administration.
