Lai Ching-te triggers constitutional interpretation ‘showdown’ with talk of ‘emperor system’; Fu Kun-chi: No need to investigate TSMC unless there is collusion between government and business

Reported 11 months ago

President Lai Ching-te held a press conference this morning to seek a constitutional interpretation regarding the parliamentary reform bill recently passed by the blue-and-white party caucuses, which he believes violates the constitution. In response, Fu Kun-chi of the Kuomintang criticized Lai Ching-te for an 'emperor system' showmanship, questioning the need for the investigation of companies like TSMC unless there is government-business collusion. Lai Ching-te argues that the amendments are unconstitutional, while Fu emphasizes the importance of separating powers and checks and balances. The debate centers on the balance of power, with Fu accusing Lai of authoritarian tendencies while Lai asserts his constitutional duties and protection of citizens' rights.
