Taiwan’s opposition last week passed a sweeping bill that empowers the legislature despite criticisms from lawyers, legal experts and protesters, setting the stage for a high-stakes confrontation with the government and potentially the courts.

We will be joined by analysts, legal academics and civil society representatives.

Miao Poya, Taipei City Councilor, Social Democratic Party
Su Yen-Tu, Research Professor, Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica
Jasmine Lee, Co-Editor, US Taiwan Watch
