Tsai Ing-wen
Tsai Ing-wen is a Taiwanese politician and academic who has served as the President of Taiwan since 2016. She is a member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the first woman to hold the office. Tsai is known for her strong stance on Taiwan's sovereignty and her administration's efforts to enhance the island's defense capabilities in light of growing tensions with China. In recent news, she announced a special budget aimed at increasing Taiwan's defense spending to exceed 3% of GDP, a move seen as a response to perceived threats from China and potentially reflective of global security challenges.
