Taiwan's legislative body is composed of public opinion representatives elected by the people. These public opinion representatives have a high social status in Taiwan. Because of the design of the system and procedures, these public opinion representatives can question administrative officials of the Taiwan authorities. Even the top leaders of the administrative agencies must go to the legislative body to accept questions. However, fights are often exposed in the legislative body, and it is no longer news that public opinion representatives fight in the venue. In the past two decades, there have been more than ten times, and there have even been large-scale group fights, with male and female representatives fighting together regardless of their own dignity. Splashing water, throwing stools, and even throwing dirt and pig offal became their offensive and defensive methods, completely tarnishing the sacred organ of public opinion. And the reason why they like to fight is simply because they are motivated by profit. The specific situation will be discussed later.

Taiwan’s legislative body is fighting again.

It’s really hard to get along in Taiwan’s legislative body if you don’t know how to fight.

A large part of the public opinion representatives in Taiwan’s legislative body are directly elected by the people, and there is a lot of electoral pressure. On the surface, it seems that they shoulder the expectations of the people and seek benefits for their voters. However, on many issues, the interests of ordinary people may conflict with the interests of powerful groups. Some public opinion representatives in Taiwan have joined forces with the powerful groups after being elected, and have no intention of seeking substantial benefits for the people. If wants to gain the interests of powerful groups and the votes of the people at the same time, it can only use outrageous words and deeds to gain media attention and exposure, and use clumsy performances to cover up its incompetence and greed. showed in front of the camera that he was working hard to benefit the voters, thus giving an explanation to the voters. The several big fights within Taiwan's legislative body were basically due to this reason.

Public opinion representatives often fight.

Since the rise of the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan, members of the Democratic Progressive Party who came from a shabby background have faced off against members of the Kuomintang who claim to be elites. It can be said that they have firmly suppressed the Kuomintang. These public opinion representatives in the legislative body of the Democratic Progressive Party have no regard for their own identity and dignity. They dare to fight, scold and take action within the legislative body. They are especially good at provoking contradictions and conflicts. Many of the fights within the legislative body were initiated by the Democratic Progressive Party, which eventually resulted in collective fights between the blue and green parties. Taiwanese people are inherently rude and martial in character, and their folk customs are tough, so situations like this happen repeatedly. The earliest conflict within the legislative body can be traced back to the last century, and it became a common drama in the 1990s. On March 7, 1990, Chen Shui-bian, a public opinion representative from the Democratic Progressive Party, deliberately disrupted order during the meeting, provoked the Kuomintang, and even overturned the rostrum table. The then very young public opinion representative Yu Muming directly took a chair and threw it at Chen Shui-bian. In 1993, Chen Shui-bian once again openly insulted veterans in Taiwan at the forum. This made Han Guo-yu, the son of a veteran, very dissatisfied. Han Guo-yu, who was also a representative of the public opinion in the legislative body, rushed forward and slapped Chen Shui-bian into the hospital.

In 1999, Luo Fuzhu, a public representative of the legislative body without party membership, had a close struggle with a public representative of the Democratic Progressive Party in the legislative body for more than ten minutes. Law Fook-suke was born in the underworld . Because Lee Teng-hui engaged in black money politics to launder the connections of the underworld figures, he was able to successfully come to shore and even entered the court to become a representative of public opinion in the legislative body. Although he was at a high level in the temple, his gangster habits had not changed at all. During the fight, Luo Fushu's son and other representatives of the Democratic Progressive Party also joined the fight, resulting in a large-scale fight. The sacred legislative body has become a fighting arena, and some representatives of public opinion have even lost the prize. In October 2008, a physical conflict broke out between Hong Xiuzhu, a member of the legislative body who was reviewing the education budget, and Guan Biling, a representative of the Democratic Progressive Party. Guan Biling slapped Hong Xiuzhu in public. Because the DPP’s bill did not have the required number of signatures, the DPP’s female representative Guan Biling openly protested and placed a protest sign next to Hong Xiuzhu.When Hong Xiuzhu pulled out the sign, he hit assistant Guan Biling's eyes, and Guan Biling then slapped Hong Xiuzhu. Afterwards, both of them said that the slap was very heavy, which also opened up the chaotic situation of fighting between men and women in Taiwan's legislative body. Sometimes women fight more crazily than men.

On April 21, 2010, Taiwan studied and reviewed the policy of opening up mainland students to study in Taiwan. During Ma Ying-jeou's administration, cross-strait relations eased, and the DPP was particularly dissatisfied with this. No matter what the issue is, they will make trouble out of nothing, deliberately provoke conflicts, and take the opportunity to fight and hinder the progress of the issue. Even if it is an issue related to mainland students coming to Taiwan, they will come out in full force to make trouble. Zhao Liyun, the chairperson of the meeting at the time, was besieged by several female representatives from the Democratic Progressive Party. They strangled Zhao Liyun's neck and pulled and tore her hair. Zhao Liyun choked for a time and was sent to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, she was fine. The female representatives at that time included Guan Biling, Qiu Yiying, Chen Tingfei and others. Qiu Yiying is recognized as a "fighting master" within the Democratic Progressive Party. She once kicked down the door of Zeng Yongfu, the head of the legal department at the time. Generally speaking, the central faction of the Kuomintang during Ma Ying-jeou's administration was basically helpless in the face of the DPP's menacing attacks. They could only respond weakly. Few people dared to confront the DPP head-on.

Female representatives were in a huddle

In October 2008, Ye Jinchuan, the head of the health department of the Ma Ying-jeou government who had just taken office, planned to go to the legislative body to accept questions. As soon as he got out of the car and walked to the door, he was threatened and physically pushed by members of the Democratic Progressive Party. Democratic Progressive Party public opinion representatives Pan Meng'an and Su Zhenqing crowded around Ye Jinchuan and asked Ye Jinchuan, "Why didn't you attend the breakfast meeting invited by the DPP group, but you were free to attend the public hearing of individual representatives of the Kuomintang?" Then the two sides got into physical contact and pushed each other, and Ye Jinchuan's tie and shirt were torn. At the critical moment, Zhang Shuowen, the secretary-general of the Kuomintang, rushed to the front to protect Ye Jinchuan, and the short Ye Jinchuan was able to successfully enter the door of the legislative body. The dispute lasted for more than seven minutes. Ye Jinchuan, who was a doctor and had been on the front line of the fight against SARS on the island, was humiliated. However, these lawless members of the Democratic Progressive Party were not punished in any way. Pan Meng'an has become the current county magistrate of Pingtung and the county magistrate of Tsai Ing-wen's hometown. The future political future may continue to rise step by step and skyrocket.

The internal reason why the legislative body has turned into a gladiatorial arena

Taiwan’s legislative body has long adhered to the American deliberative model, attaching the most importance to procedural justice, and every step must be effectively implemented. However, it is still mixed with the original and traditional debate process, presenting a distinctive "Taipei style" in a relatively distorted environment. As long as seizes some procedural loopholes and inappropriateness, political opponents can start a political offensive and defensive war based on this. Especially the opposition forces can take this opportunity to embarrass those in power and highlight their political abilities. The positions of the two sides are seriously opposed. Questions have turned into abuse, and answers have turned into sarcasm. The direct reason why fights have repeatedly broken out in Taiwan's legislative body is that they take action without saying anything. In today's era when Taiwan's populism is rampant, turning the meeting place into a gladiatorial arena can make the people feel secretly happy. It can also prevent the ruling authorities from performing due procedures and delay the issue. This is the fundamental reason why fights continue to happen.

Get into trouble when there is a disagreement

Since the Tsai Ing-wen authorities came to power in 2016, the most violent group fight that broke out inside the conference hall was the 2020 Laizhu issue war. In order to help Trump gain an advantage in the 2020 US presidential election, Tsai Ing-wen unilaterally passed an executive order to allow clenbuterol pork containing ractopamine raised in American agricultural states to enter Taiwan. Pork like is a problematic product that is not allowed to enter in most countries in the world, because clenbuterol is potentially dangerous to human health.However, in order to move closer to Trump, Tsai Ing-wen did not hesitate to sell the health of the Taiwanese people. She even ignored the fact that cheaper pork containing clenbuterol would impact the local pork breeding industry and forced Laizhu into Taiwan. This move put many public representatives in the legislative bodies who were from major pig-raising counties in a dilemma. The Kuomintang seized on this issue and launched an attack on the DPP, hoping to use this to build its own momentum.

Pigs Entering Taiwan

On December 24, 2020, the public opinion representatives of the KMT’s legislative body seized the rostrum and publicly opposed the vote on issues related to "Pigs entering Taiwan". After the Democratic Progressive Party took back the rostrum, someone from the Kuomintang threw pig offal and pork that had been prepared on the rostrum, and the blue and green public opinion representatives started a "pork war." 's well-dressed public representatives immediately transformed into rogues, throwing pig entrails at each other. The scene was like a farce. In particular, Wang Meihui, a female representative from the Democratic Progressive Party, is said to have a gangland background. She picked up pig offal and threw it at the Kuomintang side, while shouting and cursing like a shrew. The result of this battle is still that the DPP took advantage of its numerical advantage to forcefully pass the relevant proposals on Laizhu. The reason why the author said that the fights between the blue and green camps were mostly for show is because their fights were meaningless. The final result is still subject to the rules of the legislative body, and the party with more people wins. After careful observation, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that the minority is often the one who stirs up troubles to enhance their sense of existence.

Pork War

Now that Taiwan is deeply involved in the epidemic, the administrative team led by Su Tseng-chang is unable to prevent the intervention of the epidemic, let alone purchase enough vaccines in time. Taiwan’s health department is fully committed to protecting the “high-end vaccines” produced locally, completely ignoring the fact that the “high-end vaccines” themselves have not completed the second and third phases of human trials. Initiatives such as have caused public outrage among the people, and the new chairman of the Kuomintang, Zhu Lilun, has just won the election. As the saying goes, "the three things a new official should do when he takes office", Zhu Lilun's first thing was to target Su Zhenchang's team. Public opinion representatives from the blue camp besieged Su Zhenchang in the legislative body, enumerating Su Zhenchang's crimes and denouncing that he should step down. Su Zhenchang was besieged by the blue camp and escorted by the green camp in the venue. He looked very embarrassed. He repeatedly condemned the Kuomintang's abuse of violence, but he forgot that the DPP once repaired the Kuomintang's important officials to the point of hospitalization. To the outside world, this is a farce between blue and green. Under such circumstances, Taiwan's political environment will not improve in any way, and nothing will be changed. After the conference, some blue and green representatives even shook hands and made peace instantly, drinking and talking.

Zhu Lilun won the election, and the first fire was directed at Su Zhenchang

The sacred meeting hall has repeatedly staged "all-out martial arts", which has become an internationally famous laughing stock. The various funny and dirty behaviors in Taiwan have long been seen by people, and they are all fighting for publicity for profit. Extraordinary behaviors such as smashing coffee, splashing water, and throwing pig entrails are all attempts to please the public and confuse the people of Taiwan, thereby gaining their own votes and interests. What is more stinky than pig offal is the heart of Taiwanese politicians. Politics without right and wrong, only power and profit, is doomed to be nothing but laughter. Let us wait and see how the situation in the Taiwan Strait will develop in the future.

When Hong Xiuzhu pulled out the sign, he hit assistant Guan Biling's eyes, and Guan Biling then slapped Hong Xiuzhu. Afterwards, both of them said that the slap was very heavy, which also opened up the chaotic situation of fighting between men and women in Taiwan's legislative body. Sometimes women fight more crazily than men.
