Relations with China dominate Taiwan vote

Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou held a media conference ahead of Saturday's election, claiming that he is the only candidate in the race that can continue Taipei's strong and beneficial relationship with main land China.<br /><br />Speaking to mainly foreign journalists on Thursday, President Ma emphasised his success in the reconciliation effort that has changed the nature of the cross-strait relationships with China, a policy that he promises will continue in his second term.<br /><br />But, while most big businesses have thrown their support behind the president, many Taiwanese are still sceptical. They say Taiwan factories have lost business to China over the past few years.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports from Kinmen Island.
