Legislative Yuan
The Legislative Yuan (Chinese: 立法院; pinyin: Lìfǎ Yuàn; Wade–Giles: Li4-fa3 Yüan4; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Li̍p-hoat Īⁿ) is the unicameral legislature of the Republic of China (ROC), which makes it in effect the legislature of Taiwan since the 1950s, and that of China prior to that.
The Legislative Yuan is one of the five branches (called 'yuàn', "courts") of government stipulated by the Constitution of the Republic of China, which follows Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People. Although sometimes referred to as a "parliament", the Legislative Yuan, under Sun's political theory, is a branch of government. Only the now abolished National Assembly, with the power to amend the constitution and to formally elect the President and Vice President, could be considered a parliament. However, after constitutional amendments effectively transferring almost all of the National Assembly's powers to the Legislative Yuan in the late 1990s, it has become more common in Taiwanese newspapers to refer to the Legislative Yuan as the Parliament (國會, guóhuì).

Physical scuffles took place at the Legislative Yuan Monday morning, after KMT lawmakers occupied the assembly hall on Sunday. They are calling on President Tsai Ing-wen to withdraw the nomination of former Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu to lead the Control Yuan. The KMT says the Control Yuan nominee list is nothing but cronyism. Their protest attempted to block a general discussion on the issue scheduled for Monday, but DPP lawmakers managed to break in and regain control of the speaker''s podium. On Sunday afternoon, KMT lawmakers broke into the Legislative Yuan’s assembly hall, occupying the space and writing “We Will Not Endorse Cronyism in the Control Yuan” in green spray paint on the speaker’s podium. On Monday morning the KMT was still occupying the hall, but at 11 a.m. DPP lawmakers ...

Punches, Water Balloons Thrown in Taiwanese Parliament Fight
Taiwanese lawmakers throw punches and water balloons inside the legislature - the third parliamentary brawl in the past two weeks - over the nomination of the head of a top government watchdog. A legislator from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party was caught on camera punching an opposition party member during a vote on nominee Chen Chu. Kuomintang lawmakers later threw water balloons at the speakers' podium, forcing their DPP colleagues to don plastic raincoats and hold up cardboard shields. The parliament in Taipei was once notorious for mass brawls, and has been the scene of frequent protests. Scuffles broke out over reform policies and pension cuts when President Tsai Ing-wen first took office, four years ago. (AFP)

Their protest attempted to block a general discussion on the issue scheduled for Monday, but DPP lawmakers managed to break in and regain control of the speaker''s podium.
On Sunday afternoon, KMT lawmakers broke into the Legislative Yuan’s assembly hall, occupying the space and writing “We Will Not Endorse Cronyism in the Control Yuan” in green spray paint on the speaker’s podium.
On Monday morning the KMT was still occupying the hall, but at 11 a.m. DPP lawmakers set on the barricade and began trying to remove the KMT. Lawmakers Chen Ou-po and Hung Sun-han took a pair of hydraulic cutters to the iron chain placed around the door.
The KMT did all it could to keep the DPP out, piling chairs up over the entrance and draping them with iron chains, but eventually the DPP broke through. As they streamed into the hall, the KMT’s Lin Yi-hua threw talcum powder over their heads.
What followed was a very long scuffle. In the end, the DPP outnumbered their opponents and took control of the speaker’s podium. After 40 minutes’ jostling, the speaker of the Legislative Yuan, You Si-kun was escorted to his position at the podium where he began the general discussion as scheduled. And so the KMT’s promised three-day-long protest was over in just 20 hours.
Afterward, legislator and KMT Party Chairman Johnny Chiang spoke to the press outside the legislature, promising continued resistance during this summer’s extraordinary session. The pan-blue camp said it should have organized a bigger protest. It also launched a personal attack against Speaker You.

Under previous speakers, you wouldn’t see lots of scenes like that followed by meetings being held. They would call for an intermission and then everyone would talk things over.
Kuo Kuo-wen
DPP lawmaker
I think they’re full of low-down tactics. They were clearly planning this. They wanted to go in and occupy the legislature, and then use negotiations as a pretense to whittle down our power and our focus.
Later on Monday, the legislature opened its extraordinary session, passing a resolution to let a legislative committee consider the Control Yuan and Examination Yuan nominees for approval. A new schedule was agreed, slating a vote on the nominees for July 17.

That’s not a problem you expect for a legislature. The building in Taipei’s Zhongzheng District was Taipei Second Girls’ High School in the Japanese colonial era. In 1960 the legislature moved in. Sixty years later, the building is showing its age. The internal organization of the building isn’t ideal, and that semi-legal roof has seen better days. There are health and safety issues, and many think it’s unbefitting Taiwan’s government. A new committee has been set up to consider changes, and on Thursday Speaker You held its first meeting with experts.
You Si-kun
Legislative Yuan speaker
Committee members from every party have offered various sites for new establishments, or suggestions for renovations at the present location. Many voices are also arguing for moving to a new site.
Among the new sites suggested are: Huashan 1914 Creative Park, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, the former Air Force Command Headquarters in Da’an大安 District, Chenggongling military base in Taichung, and Changhua High Speed Rail Station.
You Si-kun
Legislative Yuan speaker
Many locations have been suggested. My goal is to work together with all the committee members, to secure a definite location before the end of my term in office. That would make me very happy.
The committee will consult numerous architects and urban planners, including Lin Jou-min, former head of Taipei Department of Urban Development. Legislators are casting their net far and wide in the search for solutions.

A proposed bill on Taiwan’s minimum wage has cleared its third reading at the Legislative Yuan. The bill stipulates that the minimum wage be adjusted in line with the consumer price index. The bill has been criticized by labor groups, who say it fails to clearly set a minimum threshold for basic wage increases. They say that as such, any wage hikes could be rendered null due to inflation. Let’s hear from some labor representatives.
Chu Mei-hsueh
Taoyuan City Industrial Association
What we want more is to make sure that wages are always higher than the previous year. We also want a higher pension contribution rate, from the current 6% to 12%.
Ho Cheng-chia
New Kaohsiung City Federation of Trade Unions
It’s the same old wine in a new bottle. There should be clear mechanisms, with concrete values and data points that decide how much the minimum wage should be adjusted by.
Starting next year, companies will face legal punishments for paying wages below the established minimums of NT$27,470 per month or NT$183 per hour. The bill also establishes that the wage review committee will convene in the third quarter of every year, with 21 representatives from labor groups, employers’ associations, government institutions and academia. In addition, companies that set wages below the minimum wage during negotiations with workers will face fines of up to NT$1.5 million and the names of violators will be made public.

The KMT mayoral candidate for Taipei, Chiang Wan-an, announced his resignation from the Legislative Yuan on Thursday, which he says shows his determination to win the election. The sudden announcement, however, garnered some criticism from rivals Chen Shih-chung and Huang Shan-shan. Let’s hear what they had to say.
Chiang Wan-an
Taipei mayoral candidate (KMT)
I want to show that I’m not turning back and am determined to win. Therefore, I announce that I am formally resigning from my position in the Legislative Yuan.
With just over two weeks to go until Election Day, the KMT’s mayoral candidate for Taipei, Chiang Wan-an, announced his resignation as lawmaker. His two main rivals weighed in on the matter.
Chen Shih-chung
Taipei mayoral candidate (DPP)
This is a political judgment of his. But I have always thought that his function in the Legislative Yuan was not very important. So whether he resigns or not does not really matter to me.
Huang Shan-shan
Taipei mayoral candidate (Independent)
His resignation is a bit late. First, I resigned when I announced my candidacy in August. But he announced his candidacy in May and only now resigned. I think he’s putting on a higher level of showmanship.
During a web show on Wednesday, DPP mayoral candidate Chen Shih-chung called into question Chiang’s prior vow to defend his homeland, saying Chiang didn’t even appear qualified to carry a gun.
Chen Shih-chung (Nov. 9)
Taipei mayoral candidate (DPP)
I don’t know if he’s qualified to carry a gun. If you want to defend your homeland with a gun, you need qualifications. You need to have served in the military, have training. I don’t know whether he was a reservist or anything, or what he’d do if there’s a war.
Chiang Wan-an
Taipei mayoral candidate (KMT)
The DPP’s stance of "fighting against China to protect Taiwan" is just lip service. We saw it on the drone show that President Tsai watched on National Day. There were 400 Chinese drones flying overhead. Only now do we find out that actually, that could’ve been a national security risk, and that there was a major oversight. You say you are fighting against China to protect Taiwan. How are you going to protect Taiwan?
Chiang criticized the DPP’s stance, but did not comment on the issue of his military training or lack thereof.

In June 2017, the Taipei City Government legally designated the administrative building of the Legislative Yuan as a "city-designated historic site," while the legislative chamber portion was registered as a "historical building." The Legislative Yuan complex holds significant historical value and significance.

Physical scuffles took place at the Legislative Yuan Monday morning, after KMT lawmakers occupied the assembly hall on Sunday. They are calling on President Tsai Ing-wen to withdraw the nomination of former Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu to lead the Control Yuan. The KMT says the Control Yuan nominee list is nothing but cronyism. Their protest attempted to block a general discussion on the issue scheduled for Monday, but DPP lawmakers managed to break in and regain control of the speaker''s podium.
On Sunday afternoon, KMT lawmakers broke into the Legislative Yuan’s assembly hall, occupying the space and writing “We Will Not Endorse Cronyism in the Control Yuan” in green spray paint on the speaker’s podium.
On Monday morning the KMT was still occupying the hall, but at 11 a.m. DPP lawmakers set on the barricade and began trying to remove the KMT. Lawmakers Chen Ou-po and Hung Sun-han took a pair of hydraulic cutters to the iron chain placed around the door.
The KMT did all it could to keep the DPP out, piling chairs up over the entrance and draping them with iron chains, but eventually the DPP broke through. As they streamed into the hall, the KMT’s Lin Yi-hua threw talcum powder over their heads.
What followed was a very long scuffle. In the end, the DPP outnumbered their opponents and took control of the speaker’s podium. After 40 minutes’ jostling, the speaker of the Legislative Yuan, You Si-kun was escorted to his position at the podium where he began the general discussion as scheduled. And so the KMT’s promised three-day-long protest was over in just 20 hours.
Afterward, legislator and KMT Party Chairman Johnny Chiang spoke to the press outside the legislature, promising continued resistance during this summer’s extraordinary session. The pan-blue camp said it should have organized a bigger protest. It also launched a personal attack against Speaker You.
Lin Wei-chou
KMT caucus whip
Under previous speakers, you wouldn’t see lots of scenes like that followed by meetings being held. They would call for an intermission and then everyone would talk things over.
Kuo Kuo-wen
DPP lawmaker
I think they’re full of low-down tactics. They were clearly planning this. They wanted to go in and occupy the legislature, and then use negotiations as a pretense to whittle down our power and our focus.
Later on Monday, the legislature opened its extraordinary session, passing a resolution to let a legislative committee consider the Control Yuan and Examination Yuan nominees for approval. A new schedule was agreed, slating a vote on the nominees for July 17.

Taiwanese lawmakers throw punches and water balloons inside the legislature - the third parliamentary brawl in the past two weeks - over the nomination of the head of a top government watchdog.
A legislator from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party was caught on camera punching an opposition party member during a vote on nominee Chen Chu.
Kuomintang lawmakers later threw water balloons at the speakers' podium, forcing their DPP colleagues to don plastic raincoats and hold up cardboard shields.
The parliament in Taipei was once notorious for mass brawls, and has been the scene of frequent protests.
Scuffles broke out over reform policies and pension cuts when President Tsai Ing-wen first took office, four years ago.

Does the Legislative Yuan need a new home? That''s the question at hand for Legislative Speaker You Si-kun, as he attempts to resolve numerous issues with the building currently housing the legislature. After 60 years in a former girls'' school in Taipei, many think a change of scene is needed. Some lawmakers are even arguing for the institution to move out of Taipei. But so far there''s no consensus on the ideal location.
A cafe in the Legislative Yuan. A surveyor points to the corrugated iron roof of the building. Speaker You then reveals that decades ago the roof was erected illegally.
That’s not a problem you expect for a legislature. The building in Taipei’s Zhongzheng District was Taipei Second Girls’ High School in the Japanese colonial era. In 1960 the legislature moved in. Sixty years later, the building is showing its age. The internal organization of the building isn’t ideal, and that semi-legal roof has seen better days. There are health and safety issues, and many think it’s unbefitting Taiwan’s government. A new committee has been set up to consider changes, and on Thursday Speaker You held its first meeting with experts.
You Si-kun
Legislative Yuan speaker
Committee members from every party have offered various sites for new establishments, or suggestions for renovations at the present location. Many voices are also arguing for moving to a new site.
Among the new sites suggested are: Huashan 1914 Creative Park, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, the former Air Force Command Headquarters in Da’an大安 District, Chenggongling military base in Taichung, and Changhua High Speed Rail Station.
You Si-kun
Legislative Yuan speaker
Many locations have been suggested. My goal is to work together with all the committee members, to secure a definite location before the end of my term in office. That would make me very happy.
The committee will consult numerous architects and urban planners, including Lin Jou-min, former head of Taipei Department of Urban Development. Legislators are casting their net far and wide in the search for solutions.

A proposed bill on Taiwan’s minimum wage has cleared its third reading at the Legislative Yuan. The bill stipulates that the minimum wage be adjusted in line with the consumer price index. The bill has been criticized by labor groups, who say it fails to clearly set a minimum threshold for basic wage increases. They say that as such, any wage hikes could be rendered null due to inflation. Let’s hear from some labor representatives.
Chu Mei-hsueh
Taoyuan City Industrial Association
What we want more is to make sure that wages are always higher than the previous year. We also want a higher pension contribution rate, from the current 6% to 12%.
Ho Cheng-chia
New Kaohsiung City Federation of Trade Unions
It’s the same old wine in a new bottle. There should be clear mechanisms, with concrete values and data points that decide how much the minimum wage should be adjusted by.
Starting next year, companies will face legal punishments for paying wages below the established minimums of NT$27,470 per month or NT$183 per hour. The bill also establishes that the wage review committee will convene in the third quarter of every year, with 21 representatives from labor groups, employers’ associations, government institutions and academia. In addition, companies that set wages below the minimum wage during negotiations with workers will face fines of up to NT$1.5 million and the names of violators will be made public.

The KMT''s Wang Jin-pyng has retired from the Legislative Yuan, after 44 years. Taiwan''s longest-serving lawmaker joined his very last general session on Friday. He gave a 30-minute parting speech in front of an audience that included his children and lawmakers from both sides of the party divide. Before he walked out the door, he turned and took a deep bow in the direction of the legislative floor. Wang''s exit has prompted speculation that he''s looking to enter the presidential election with a ticket from the People First Party. When asked about his plans, Wang didn''t give specifics. But he said that no matter what, he will persevere to the best of his abilities in the interest of his convictions.

The KMT mayoral candidate for Taipei, Chiang Wan-an, announced his resignation from the Legislative Yuan on Thursday, which he says shows his determination to win the election. The sudden announcement, however, garnered some criticism from rivals Chen Shih-chung and Huang Shan-shan. Let’s hear what they had to say.
Chiang Wan-an
Taipei mayoral candidate (KMT)
I want to show that I’m not turning back and am determined to win. Therefore, I announce that I am formally resigning from my position in the Legislative Yuan.
With just over two weeks to go until Election Day, the KMT’s mayoral candidate for Taipei, Chiang Wan-an, announced his resignation as lawmaker. His two main rivals weighed in on the matter.
Chen Shih-chung
Taipei mayoral candidate (DPP)
This is a political judgment of his. But I have always thought that his function in the Legislative Yuan was not very important. So whether he resigns or not does not really matter to me.
Huang Shan-shan
Taipei mayoral candidate (Independent)
His resignation is a bit late. First, I resigned when I announced my candidacy in August. But he announced his candidacy in May and only now resigned. I think he’s putting on a higher level of showmanship.
During a web show on Wednesday, DPP mayoral candidate Chen Shih-chung called into question Chiang’s prior vow to defend his homeland, saying Chiang didn’t even appear qualified to carry a gun.
Chen Shih-chung (Nov. 9)
Taipei mayoral candidate (DPP)
I don’t know if he’s qualified to carry a gun. If you want to defend your homeland with a gun, you need qualifications. You need to have served in the military, have training. I don’t know whether he was a reservist or anything, or what he’d do if there’s a war.
Chiang Wan-an
Taipei mayoral candidate (KMT)
The DPP’s stance of "fighting against China to protect Taiwan" is just lip service. We saw it on the drone show that President Tsai watched on National Day. There were 400 Chinese drones flying overhead. Only now do we find out that actually, that could’ve been a national security risk, and that there was a major oversight. You say you are fighting against China to protect Taiwan. How are you going to protect Taiwan?
Chiang criticized the DPP’s stance, but did not comment on the issue of his military training or lack thereof.

Legislative Yuan
The Legislative Yuan (Chinese: 立法院; pinyin: Lìfǎ Yuàn; Wade–Giles: Li4-fa3 Yüan4; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Li̍p-hoat Īⁿ) is the unicameral legislature of the Republic of China (ROC), which makes it in effect the legislature of Taiwan since the 1950s, and that of China prior to that.
The Legislative Yuan is one of the five branches (called 'yuàn', "courts") of government stipulated by the Constitution of the Republic of China, which follows Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People. Although sometimes referred to as a "parliament", the Legislative Yuan, under Sun's political theory, is a branch of government. Only the now abolished National Assembly, with the power to amend the constitution and to formally elect the President and Vice President, could be considered a parliament. However, after constitutional amendments effectively transferring almost all of the National Assembly's powers to the Legislative Yuan in the late 1990s, it has become more common in Taiwanese newspapers to refer to the Legislative Yuan as the Parliament (國會, guóhuì).
