The Dalai Lama on Wednesday said he is willing to visit Taiwan again whenever possible, adding that he hopes Taiwan could change China “through the power of democracy and freedom.”

Longer conscription helps ‘prevent war’: Enoch Wu

Friday, 16 December 2022 08:09 Taipei Times

Legislative by-election candidate Enoch Wu (吳怡農) on Wednesday voiced support for the government’s plan to extend conscription to one year, saying that its efforts in the past few years have borne fruit to bolster Taiwan’s sovereignty and the military capabilities needed to safeguard its citizens.

“For our national security, the only goal is to prevent war,” said Wu, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate in the by-election in Taipei on Wednesday, which was called to fill the legislative seat vacated by Taipei mayor-elect Chiang Wan-an (蔣萬安) of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).

The legislature’s Procedure Committee yesterday passed a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus-proposed bill aimed at establishing a protocol to regulate transfers of power for the period between presidential elections and their inaugurations.

The proposal is now listed on Friday’s legislative agenda. In the hope that the proposed bill could be passed before the current legislative session goes into recess next Wednesday, the DPP caucus yesterday said it would demand that the bill be put directly to a second reading during Friday’s plenary session and then be put to discussion, along with a similar proposal by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Lu Hsueh-chang (呂學樟).
