CHINA urged global leaders today to not interfere in its internal affairs after they congratulated Lai Ching-te for winning Taiwan’s presidential elections.

Mr Ching-te won a third term in power for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in Saturday’s elections with some 40 per cent of the vote.

He is taking over from DPP’s Tsai Ing-wen and promises to continue her foreign policy efforts in cutting ties with China.
