Answer: William Lai
Notes: William Lai, also known as Lai Ching-te, is the president of Taiwan, succeeding Tsai Ing-wen. Lai is promising to continue Tsai's foreign policy efforts to resist China's plans to annex Taiwan. Tsai Ing-wen has been president of the Republic of China (Taiwan) since 2016. She is the first woman to be elected as president of Taiwan, the first unmarried president, and the first president to be of both Hakka and aboriginal descent. The most recent presidential election in Taiwan took place on January 13, 2024. In Taiwan, presidents are elected by relative majority, meaning the candidate with the most votes wins without a runoff requirement. The president can hold office for no more than two consecutive four-year terms.
