Meeting with the Brookings Institution: Taiwan People’s Party Emphasizes: Strengthening Taiwan’s Defense Capabilities. Mentioning Past Presidents’ Efforts for Cross-Party Communication, Secretary-General Vincent Chou Laments: “President Lai Lacks Vision”

On the evening of December 19th, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators shattered glass to force their way into the Legislative Yuan. What they have shattered extends far beyond the physical windows of the Legislative Yuan; they have fractured the very fabric of Taiwan’s democratic principles, which the nation has defended and fought for over decades.

The Party's Chairman, Ko Wen-je, is being subjected to unfair political persecution. We kindly request the Central Committee to approve Chairman Ko Wen-je's leave of absence for an additional three months.
