TAIPEI, Taiwan -- President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said Friday she is not a political strongman but "a leader under a democracy who has a strong will to carry out reforms," and she pledged to push for any reform that will make Taiwan better. Tsai said she chose to address the most difficult issues during her first year in office and falling approval rates were to be expected. During Friday's meeting, Tsai noted the reforms her administration has been pushing for the past year, including pension system reforms, legislation dealing with ill-gotten party assets, and projects aimed at upgrading the country's economy and infrastructure. Her administration will remain committed to the reforms and will improve if it has not done something well enough, she said. "The reforms will not be stopped, and this is the order I've given to my administrative team," she added.
