Taiwan President Lai Ching-te has initiated an unprecedented recall election aimed at ousting over a quarter of its legislators. The two-round vote, set for July 26 and August 23, could potentially remove up to 31 opposition lawmakers from office. With the opposition currently holding a legislative majority, this development would give President Lai’s party control of parliament if enough voters support the recall. This move has raised concerns about increased tensions with China, as it challenges their dominance in Taiwanese politics.
