Lai Ching-te of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party is Taiwan's new president-elect, after a three-way election that will determine the self-ruled island's future stance towards China.
As Taiwan heads to an election, false information on social media has been picked up by TV networks — much of it appearing to originate from Taiwan itself.
Analysts say the presidential election will be "crucial" for the future of the Asian island and its relationships with both the United States and China.
