On January 16, 2016, Taiwan 
will elect its 14th president 
and members of the 9th 
The Ma administration focused on 
expanding and securing Taiwan’s status as a 
sovereign state in response to shrinking 
room for its existence in international 
society and to a wide range of pressure 
from China. Given the realistic 
impossibility of Taiwan’s independence, 
the new administration will carry out 
survival diplomacy. In particular, Taiwan 
should be careful not to aggravate Beijing 
with its policies, as China’s rapid emergence 
has already reduced room for Taiwan’s 
foreign policy. With the U.S. checking 
China with its “rebalance to Asia” policy, 
Ms Tsai stated her intention to push for 
Taiwan’s joining of the U.S.-led TransPacific
Partnership (TPP) agreement, 
hinting at the new administration’s policy 
aimed at reinforcing its relations with 
Washington. IFANS 2015 ©
Legislative Yuan. The 
Democratic Progress Party 
(DPP) nominated Tsai Ing-wen as its 
presidential candidate as early as April 
2015, whereas the Chinese Nationalist 
Party (KMT) nominated Hung Hsiu-chu 
only in July, which had to do with the 
decline in the approval rating for 
President Ma Ying-jeou and the KMT. In 
August, Soong Chu-yu of the People 
First Party (PFP) officially announced his 
candidacy, but Ms Tsai’s approval rating 
by far exceeded those of the other two 
candidates all along.
