Ma beat opposition leader Tsai Ing-wen by more than five percent. His victory is seen as a mandate to keep peace with Beijing while managing wealth-distribution issues at home.
The president, who was first elected in 2008 on pledges to shore up ties with China and reap gains from its massive markets, won Saturday’s re-election bid with nearly 6.9 million votes. His administration says that victory after a tense campaign will lead to more deals with China on trade and economic cooperation.
Tsai Ing-wen, leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), is more sympathetic than the Nationalists to calls for Taiwan's independence, and she also was attempting to become the Taiwan's first female leader. She conceded defeat and apologized to supporters at DPP headquarters on Saturday.
