President Lai Ching-te recently announced the establishment of three major committees at the Presidential Office focused on climate change, national defense resilience, and promoting a healthy Taiwan, all chaired by the president himself. This move has drawn criticism for consolidating power, with People First Party Chairman Ko Wen-je stating concerns over presidential authority expansion. Kuomintang Chairman Lai Ching-te, referencing past criticism from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) when former President Ma Ying-jeou attempted a similar initiative, questioned why the DPP now supports Lai’s actions. Chu Li-lun raised concerns about the need for clarity on executive responsibilities and posed questions about legislative questioning of ministries versus committees. These developments highlight discussions on the future constitutional system in Taiwan.
