TAIPEI -- Taiwan's Constitutional Court faces an unprecedented decision that could determine the survival of one of the tech power's most critical entities: itself.
The opposition coalition of the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP), which together have a narrow edge in the legislature, in late December passed a bill that raises the minimum number of justices required for the top court to make rulings. They also ensured that none of the government's nominees for the bench was approved, raising fears the court will be paralyzed.
