Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) nominated lawmaker Puma Shen on Wednesday as its candidate for Taipei mayor, a man who has been sanctioned by China ​for what Beijing has described as his support for "separatism".

Taiwan, which China views as ‌its own territory, holds key mayoral and county chief elections in November, which while mostly focusing on local issues will offer a gauge of party support ahead of the next presidential vote ​in early 2028.
