Taiwan’s opposition-controlled legislature has passed changes that are seen as favoring China and diminishing the power of the island’s president.
Protesters against controversial bills that aim to expand parliament’s oversight of government gather outside the Parliament in Taipei, Taiwan on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. Taiwan ’s Parliament resumed sessions on Tuesday to discuss and vote on a set of bills that includes controversial legislation that aims to expand Parliament’s oversight of the government.
The Nationalists officially back unification with China, from which Taiwan separated during a civil war in 1949. They took control of the legislature with a single-seat majority after elections in January, while the presidency went to Lai Ching-te of the Democratic Progressive Party, which favors Taiwan’s de facto independence from China.
