TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan’s president won re-election Saturday, paving the way for a continuation of the China-friendly policies that have delighted Beijing and Washington, and caused consternation among some in Taiwan worried about the durability of their de facto independence.
The official Central Election Commission said President Ma Ying-jeou had garnered 51.6 percent of the total against 45.6 percent for Tsai Ing-wen of the main opposition Democratic Progressive Party.
Ma’s Nationalist Party also retained control of the 113-seat legislature, though with a reduced majority.
