now, eric chu conceding defeat, no doubt. in a happy move. it's an historic time for taiwan. >> a very historic time, there's a sense in the crowd that history is being made and beam are watching it. i see a man with tears. a short time ago. the mood is becoming more and more celebratory as people realise the kmt's dominance of politics is coming to an end. it's out with the old guard, in with the new. the d.p.p. generally won the election, the only question is by how many seats and it's almost certain that this will be the first female president in a chinese speaking world. what will they make of the result, because for many the dpp is their worst nightmares because of a pro independence stance. in the crowd, people holding banners saying taiwan is not part of china, that is the sentiment that makes beijing's blood boil. if it becomes overt and is endorsed in an official way by the administration. you'll see a lot of friction. certainly for now, the time is to party for the people. it will be a long night of celebration. they believe they ha

noted that thebe presidential candidate, eric chu ranked quite low in surveys. the third factor of would like to point out is the way the dpp is seeking positions, potentially confrontational issues including south china sea relations and relationships with japan, trade related cultural issues. the way we conducted the debate on this issue allowed them to move the on the traditional divide. they stayed on high ground with political issues and garnered the support of the middle majority. this provoked the green-blue divisions, but it did not work. a final factor i would consider important for election results is the dpp factor. they addressed public concerns. the public concern about safety issues about pension, housing and etc.. series of policy platforms to address the issues people care a lot about. innovativeed five industry projects, renewable energy policy issues, political judicial reform, and foreign policy. contrast, they did not come into the picture early on. eric chu did not become a candidate until october. they did not seem to make a successful impa

opinion polls ahead of this election which might be historic, says she has a double digit lead of eric chu, the kmt has been the dominant political force since the end ef martial law in 1987. if she wins today, that would be historic because it would be the first time that taiwan has ever had a female head of state. also she would be the first female president in a chinese speaking society. now she's an interesting person. she's 59 years old. she is single. she is a trained economist. she graduated from cornell university in new york from the london school of economics, she was also a key trade negotiator for taiwan's entry to the world trade organization, national security advisor. are from paper she ticks all the boxes but from china's perspective she is the stuff of nightmares because of the dpp's proindependence stance. when tsi wei went to cast her ballots, many people casting their ballots are doing it for the first time. this is the parts of age where people don't take democracy for granted. they've only been a democracy for 20 years it's a poignant scene and deep down a lot of peop

in fact, eric chu did not become the kmt candidate until october 17th and the platforms proposed by the kmt side did not seem to make a very successful impact. and i would like to caution a little bit about the meaning of the election. and many people would like to interpret the kmt's defeat as china's defeat or the dpp's victory as china's defeat. i would like to give some of my own observations. some observers often observe the defeat as also china's defeat since the kmt is obviously china's favored choice. could be a little valid if china weighed in as it did in the 2012 presidential election, however, it might be inaccurate in reading the election with the same interpretation this time around. throughout the campaign neither the presidential candidate herself or the entire dpp campaign team targeted china in any campaign rhetoric or slogans. moreover, it appears that beijing has prepared itself for its high victory and for dpp return to powerfuling the presidential election. for this reason the statements by the chinese officials asserting their positions have been relatively reserv
