On May 17, intense conflicts erupted in the Legislative Yuan of the Republic of China, resulting in six legislators being hospitalized. Later that night, hundreds gathered outside the Legislative Yuan, chanting slogans such as "No discussion, not democracy" to voice their concerns. Additionally, six professors from Taipei University signed a petition condemning the violence in the Congress. The proposed congressional power expansion bill, led by Fu Kunqi, the convener of the KMT Legislative Yuan Caucus, has raised significant public concern that "Taiwan's Legislative Yuan will become like the National People's Congress in Hong Kong." This has triggered intense conflict. Just 20 days ago, on April 27, Fu Kunqi led 17 KMT legislators to meet with Wang Huning, Chairman of the CPPCC. ___________________________________ #China #ChinaNews #ChinaInsights
