⬆️ Pacific Standard (on BlueSky) points out that Alex Huang of the KMT's quotes about the KMT voting to reduce Taiwan's military budget are presented without context. The KMT and TPP have voted together to reduce the military's budget at a time when it urgently needs to be increased. Read the full thread for the details

Bluesky Social · Pacific Standard 🚜🌻☂️ (@pacstandardtw.bsky.social)Just making sure that @pbsnews.org understands that you allowed Alexander Huang to lie through his teeth on your air and launder rank propaganda that the KMT cares about defending Taiwan. Even the *slightest* bit of research would show you KMT is acting intentionally to undermine Taiwan/favors PRC. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

@iuculano
what the trade Minister wants to do is stupid and short sighted.

TPP countries and EU should join together and then reach out to Mercosur and Ecowas and SADC to establish an International Commerce Authority without the USA, China, russia, and all the other rogue imperial states.

The EU and the Trans-Pacific Patnership countries should create a "Planetary Commerce Authority" without USA and China that can substitute the WTO (after the USA killed it) and guarantee international commerce from the unfair trade practices of China and the schizophrenic tariff policies of the USA.

Then it could be expanded to other regional economic organizations like MERCOSUR, SADC, ECOWAS...

Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) is poised to become chair of the Taiwan People's Party. It is another step in his political journey that has taken him from a leader in the Sunflower Movement, vehemently opposed to the KMT, to now being in a party which votes closely with the KMT

Must read explainer on Taiwan's constitutional crisis by Kharis Templeman

"...the current confrontation is a foreseeable consequence of Taiwan's constitutional framework, which despite going through several rounds of reforms is still an awkward mash-up of presidential and parliamentary features that isn't well-designed to handle periods of divided government."

Kharis Templeman (祁凱立)Taiwan Is on the Brink of a Constitutional CrisisAnd maybe a fiscal one, too. And no, it has nothing to do with China.

⚖️ Statement by alumni & current students of the College of Law at National Taiwan University of opposition to the unlawful amendments to the Constitutional Court Procedure Act (憲法訴訟法)

"As students of law, the democratic constitutional order is the core of our belief system. Based on all we know and have learned, we cannot sit by and watch the paralysis of the Constitutional Court, nor the collapse of the separation of powers."

The Constitutional Court Procedure Act (憲法訴訟法) passed through Taiwan's Legislative Yuan yesterday with the support of the KMT and TPP.

The law requires a quorum of 10 judges to hear a case and a supermajority of nine to rule against the constitutionality of a law. However, the court currently only has eight judges with seven positions remaining vacant
