China is increasing putting pressure on Tsai Ing-wen to acknowledge the "One-China" policy before she takes over the Taiwanese presidency on the 20th May. Her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) traditionally favours independence from China, while a rise of nationalism in the mainland forces Chinese leaders to plea Tsai to note her stance on the 1992 CPC, a tacit agreement stating there is only one China. Tsai is expected to focus on local issues during the first months of her presidency while negotiating between the hardline pro-independence factions of her party and Consensus, the ruling party of China.
