With Taiwan's next presidential election only twelve months away, the administration of President Tsai Ing-wen is heading into the home stretch of its second four-year term. The existential threat posed by China all but guarantees that Tsai's legacy will largely be judged on her ability to ensure Taiwan's resilience going forward.
