Taiwan Passes Controversial Pro-China Bill Amid Protests and Violence

Taiwan's opposition-controlled parliament passed a controversial reform bill amid violent debates and mass protests. The bill, driven by the Kuomintang and Taiwan People’s Party, aims to expand legislative powers but faces strong opposition from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, which plans to challenge its constitutionality. The bill's passage has sparked the largest protests since the 2014 Sunflower Movement, with critics arguing it undermines democratic processes and could be used to target political opponents.
