TAICHUNG, Taiwan -- When veteran Kuomintang (KMT) lawmaker Fu Kun-chi boarded a plane bound for China with a delegation from his party a little over a year ago, the opposition coalition in Taiwan led by the KMT was riding high.
Ballots on whether to recall up to 31 Kuomintang lawmakers will take place starting July 26, catalyzing a wave of protest against what supporters of progressive President Lai Ching-te see as obstruction by the KMT as it campaigns for closer ties with China. (Illustration by Yoshiko Kawano)
