【明報專訊】TSAI ING-WEN was sworn into her second term in Taiwan's presidential inauguration ceremony on May 20. With a storm brewing in the international arena and rivalry between China and the US gaining intensity by the day, the Taiwan Strait has become a tinderbox. Tsai did not come up with a new position on cross-strait relations in her inauguration speech, and there was absolutely no mention of the ''1992 consensus''. It is unlikely for the frosty cross-strait relations to thaw and the deadlock to be broken.
