Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) hailed its success in securing a third presidency in a row. That broke a record as no political party had stayed in power for more than two terms since the island elected its first leader in 1996.
China's Taiwan Affairs Office played down the DPP's victory by stating that the result could not represent the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan. It added that these elections would not stop the "unstoppable trend of the eventual reunification of the motherland."
