Lawmakers in Taiwan have begun debating a contentious bill that is seen by critics as an attempt to control President Lai Ching-te, sparking expectations of large protests. The bill aims to enhance lawmakers' power to scrutinize government projects and policies, potentially challenging Lai's authority amidst China-US tensions. Supporters and opposition parties have conflicting views on the bill, with the latter having already approved it once. Despite the controversy, financial markets in Taiwan have remained stable, with the Taiex stock gauge reaching a record high.
