On June 20, 2024, President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, who has been in office for a month, announced the establishment of three task forces on climate change, societal defense resilience, and promoting a healthy Taiwan, with herself as the convener. Kuomintang legislator Loh Chih-chiang criticized this move, stating that Tsai's roles in these committees, along with existing powers over cross-strait affairs and diplomacy, effectively sideline the Premier, making her the 'super Prime Minister' with unchecked authority. Loh's remarks allude to concerns of law enforcement without accountability, drawing comparisons to historical instances of abuse of power. Tsai's creation of these committees has sparked debate over constitutional boundaries and the concentration of power.
