Today, Clay mentioned that Taiwan has their first female president, Tsai Ing-wen. I wonder how people in Taiwan feel about having a female president, or if it is even a topic of contention. According to CCN, it states "Of course, there are some people in Taiwan that are still rather traditional and they have some hesitation in considering a woman president. But among the younger generation, I think they are generally excited about the idea of having a woman leader. They think it is rather trendy," she said. (Source: http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/18/asia/taiwan-president-tsai-ing-wen/) I wonder however, where this information comes from . . .

I also think it will be very interesting to see how our future president (whether it is our first female president or a president that has said negative comments about women) will work with, and develop relations with Taiwan and other Asian nations. I am also wondering what the differences are in the thoughts on the American presidential race among the rich, poor, and political leadership within the people of China, Korea, and Japan.
