On June 21, the parliamentary reform review vote is set to take place, with President Lai Ching-te calling for discussions with the opposition parties within 48 hours in response to public expectations. The Executive Yuan emphasized that its intention is not to confront the Legislative Yuan but to seek an opportunity for the legislature to re-examine the contents of bills, with a day of intense confrontation expected between the ruling party and the opposition. Furthermore, President Lai established three new committees at the Presidential Office focusing on climate change, social resilience, and health promotion, drawing criticism from opposition parties for being excessive and overlapping. Lai's stance on cross-strait relations in his inaugural speech has led to heightened tensions with China, with mainland China accusing him of provoking conflict as the president, thereby shrinking Taiwan's diplomatic space.
