Taiwan's China-sceptic ruling party to elect new head

Taiwan's ruling party began electing a new chairman on Sunday -- a post vacated by President Tsai Ing-wen after a recent electoral mauling -- in a vote closely watched by China and the United States. Tsai and her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won a 2016 landslide, sweeping away a government that had built much closer ties to China over the previous decade. The result rattled Beijing because Tsai refuses to acknowledge that the self-ruled island is part of "one China".
