Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's landslide victory may have raised the hopes of anti-government protesters in Hong Kong, but some observers believe her newly minted win is unlikely to re-energise the city's ongoing protests.
While the protesters are driven by the goals of universal suffrage and freedom to choose their own chief executive, analysts said Ms Tsai's victory is unlikely to help the anti-government protests that have roiled the city for seven months.
