Taiwan leader shows she is out of touch with reality

Slightly more than 13 months in office, the approval rating of Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen continues to nosedive, and she faces growing questions about her competency.

It is for the island's own good that its residents are finally waking up to the damage her "separatist stance" is doing to the Taiwan economy and are now seeking ways to restore healthy relations with the mainland.

Unfortunately, Tsai and her colleagues who are responsible for this state of affairs and who are in the position to make a difference are still refusing to come to their senses. Instead, they appear even more intent on pressing ahead with what has proven to be so wrong and harmful.
