Lai is lashing out because the KMT+TPP coalition want to pass a bill that shifts power from the executive branch to the legislative branch.

The horror.

Then stop complaining about subsidies designed to protect domestic industries 🤷

An "imperfect free market" saved by $80 billion in bailouts.

For fucks sake

The facts are that Lai's legislature is a fucking mess domestically. It's breaking out into fistfights, people are trying to steal away bills to prevent them getting passed, and the KMT+TPP are much more unified than expected.

Lai was only elected because of FPTP and he needs to project legitimacy in the face of the KMT+TPP opposition (who, together, received something like 60% of the vote). This is him attempting to do so.

I agree, but it's by no means adherence to free market anti-subsidization principles.
