TAIPEI - Taiwan president-elect Tsai Ing-wen will not send a representative to travel to the Taiwanese-held island of Itu Aba in the disputed South China Sea, her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said on Wednesday.
The response came after President Ma Ying-jeou announced he would travel to the island on Thursday.
Ma steps down in May due to term limits.
