Political infighting continues over Chinese-born TPP legislatorBy Chen Yu-fu and Hollie Younger / Staff reporter, with staff writerA dispute between government branches continued today over a Chinese-born lawmaker who allegedly failed to renounce her Chinese citizenship before being sworn in as a legislator for the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP). The committee respects Li’s right to speak, but also the Cabinet’s position that officials do not need to respond, he said. Taiwan People’s Party Legislator Li Zhenxiu, right, speaks today during a meeting of the Legislative Yuan’s Internal Administration Committee in Taipei. “I am a legislator of the Republic of China,” Li said, and repeatedly asked Liu to step up to the podium. The Ministry of the Interior “does not care about people’s livelihoods and only wants to continue political infighting,” she said.
