The two main contenders in Taiwan’s presidential race curtailed their election campaigns Thursday after the top uniformed military officer died in a helicopter crash.
Chief of General Staff Shen Yi-ming and other officials were en route to meet military personnel in the run up to the Lunar New Year holiday when their UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter made an emergency landing in a mountainous area of New Taipei City, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said in a text message.
