TAIPEI—Chinese state media heaped pressure on Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Nov. 26 after her ruling pro-independence party suffered heavy defeats in local elections over the weekend, as party officials sought to work out what went wrong.
Tsai, who faces a presidential election in a little over a year, resigned on Saturday as chairwoman of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) after losing key battleground cities in mayoral polls to the China-friendly Kuomintang.
