Mass Protests Erupt in Taiwan Over Controversial Legislative Reforms
Tens of thousands protested in Taiwan against controversial parliamentary reforms, expressing concerns over China's influence and the potential expansion of lawmakers' powers. The reforms, pushed by the opposition Kuomintang party, aim to increase government accountability but are opposed by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, which argues they lack clear definitions and could criminalize government officials. The protests were peaceful, with demonstrators accusing the opposition of aligning with China to undermine Taiwan's democracy.
