The KMT and People First Party (PFP) caucuses submitted motions to reconsider the proposals in an attempt to stall their submission to the review committee, Chen said. What kind of message is the KMT sending to voters by blocking bills designed to protect the nation’s democracy and sovereignty? Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) at Double Ten National Day celebrations outside the city government building spoke about his resolve to protect national sovereignty. Han had previously said that it would be “impossible for Taiwanese” to accept a “one country, two systems” model implemented in Taiwan by China. The KMT caucus might not fully agree with Han, but the party has in recent months expelled several members who spoke critically of Han.
