TAIPEI - Taiwan is hoping to repeat a convention-breaking telephone call with the incoming US president, in defiance of warnings from China.

Tsai was among the first to congratulate Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris on their election victory, saying in a tweet that she looked forward to working together to further strengthen US-Taiwan relations and contributions to international society.
