TAIPEI: Taiwan's presidential candidates are waging an all-out charm offensive to woo millions of young people in the lead-up to this weekend's election, conscious their votes could push them over the finish line.

The clip begins with Taiwanese youngsters going about their lives, playing video games and dancing, before switching to scenes of unrest in the former British colony. "The government is doing things for us, we are happy, blessed citizens," raps long-haired Jutopi, wearing a three-piece suit and fedora.Analysts say a high youth turnout would likely benefit the 63-year-old Tsai.Han, 62, favours warmer ties with China and has built a campaign around accusing the DPP of imperilling Taiwan's long-term future by provoking Beijing.
