Taiwan's female president 'extreme' because she's single, claims China

A newspaper published by China's official news agency has said the new president of rival Taiwan is more "extreme" in her politics because she is unmarried and lacks the emotional balance provided by romantic and family life.

The comments were part of an editorial that denounced President Tsai Ing-wen as a strident advocate of self-governing Taiwan's formal independence from China, something Beijing says it will use military force to prevent.
