Chinese media blame 'dirty tactics' for Tsai's Taiwan poll win

NSTworld: “This is obviously not a normal election,”

Tsai, who has pitched herself as a defender of liberal democratic values against an increasingly authoritarian China, secured a record-breaking win in Saturday’s presidential election.

Tsai and her Democratic Progressive Party used “dirty tactics such as cheating, repression and intimidation to get votes, fully exposing their selfish, greedy and evil nature“, it added. China doubled down on its “one-China principle” after Tsai’s victory, with foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang emphasising Sunday that “regardless of what happens in Taiwan, the basic facts won’t change: there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is part of China.”Over the last four years, Beijing has ramped up economic, military and diplomatic pressure on the island, hoping it would scare voters into supporting Tsai’s opposition.
