TAIPEI – Taiwan’s global credibility is on the line and Parliament should withdraw a series of laws the government opposes, Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te said amid a deepening dispute with the opposition, which has slammed him for ignoring the ‍will of ​the people.

While Mr Lai won the presidential election in 2024 , his Democratic Progressive ‍Party (DPP) lost its parliamentary majority to the Kuomintang (KMT) and its much smaller ally the Taiwan People’s Party.
