Taiwan will elect a new president on Saturday in an election China has dubbed a choice between peace and war.

On the other side are those who feel deeply Taiwanese and see Beijing as yet another colonising foreign power.
There are also 600,000 or so indigenous peoples who trace their ancestry back thousands of years.
