The question is, when is a fight not breaking out in the Taiwanese Parliament
When it’s in recess
The WWE is looking to purchase broadcasting rights of the Taiwanese parliament /s
Yet people never call them uncivilised or backwards like they do for middle easterners
@user-op8fg3ny3j
The Middle East has nothing to do with this, stop trying to cause useless drama in completely unrelated comment sections.
@@hexyellow9873 you say that like white nationalists never make fun of middle eastern parliaments
Funny thing is, fights in the Taiwanese Parliament has kinda become a tradition. It does show how persistent and willing the politicians are at least 😅
White nationalists will call it a savage tradition
So... when Taiwanese Parliament Representatives are selected, is their fitness level and how good their right hook and groundwork is also a criteria? 😁
If our politicians in the US got in fist fights, id trust them more. But all politicians here are spineless. If you arent willing to take a hook for your proposal, its probably not a good enough proposal.
@@DarkHarlequin lmao, sir your foreign policy is top tier, but we cant hire you with that weak upper body. Youd never beat Susana from the left!
@kyledabearsfan I imagine a scene where they rewatch the fight recordings to analyze their opponents' moves and tactics.
Taking the phrase “i fight for you” to a whole new level
They should totally use it as part of their candidacy videos 😂😂
yeah, id have much more faith in our US politicians if they would literally fight for us 🤣🤣 "i dont agree with Trumps foreign policy, but man, he throws a sick left"
This fight was quite mild by Taiwanese standards. We used to have fight that resemble UFC with lots of people being hospitalized, and parliament members throwing intestines at each other.
Yeah, only 5 legislators have to head to the hospital
Need to hit the gym and get bigger for the next battle. Ministers should be picked based on fighting styles 🤣🤣
And yet, somehow, it is still more infinitely successful than the government of West Taiwan
Correction, 6 legislators were hospitalised
Where did they get intestines?
Virgin Western politicians calmly debating each other vs Chad Taiwanese politicians beating the shit out of each other.
Bibi: there’s no genocide in Gaza
Hitler: there’s no genocide in Poland
Gay leftist
On the one hand this seems unprofessional. On the other the other hand I wish our politicians were young enough to move like that.
Keep in mind that this has a more democratic government than the US since the policy *does* affect them unlike US congressman or senators
A private resident had to pay $500k so his community had working fire facilities?? How is this an uplifting story? 500k is 0.0006% of the US 2024 defence budget
A drawback of federalism, some rural parts of states end up underfunded while certain urban areas of other states end up swimming in cash. It’s uplifting that the older gentleman put forward money to modernize the small town’s services.
I think its uplifting that someone prefers to invest that money on a public service rather than just another state bond or similar. However, its sad that it has to come that way
That’s a city county or state problem not federal. Most of the government budget goes to social programs like social security
I think it's more a criticism of the state or local government who's responsibility it is to fund fire-prevention. The only reasonable explanation would be that there are simply too few people in his community to provide an adequate tax base for funding the fire station, which I could understand. Equally likely though is financial mismanagement and corruption...
The uplifting story of "that country is so disfunctional, they have to rely on private donations to run a life saving service and this time it worked"? 😉😁
So for much of US history voluntary donations were relied on to make things worth. Hospitals, schools, homeless shelters, etc ran pretty well on that system. Even today, the reason why it is so much easier at elite US educational institutions to get research funded than in the UK or Europe is because the schools are overflowing from cash thru donations, to the point that no one has to go into debt to attend them because tuition is not how these universities support themselves.
I respect the fact that they are willing to literally fight for what they believe in while it may be childish it does show they genuinely care about what their campaigning for.
Exactly, in contrast to the usual bribe-taking reps
Honestly the fact the politicians fight is hella based
It's kinda a tradition in Taiwan, they take "i'll fight for you" literally haha
I mean I imagine you think more carefully about what you say in parliament if you know you could get punched in the face in a giant brawl for it later 😅😅
The "Good News" could straight up be something from r/OrphanCrushingMachine
this
I have been waiting for the Taiwan segment since this morning.
Small correction, the incoming president’s name is Lai Ching-te, his given name is Ching-te
Why don't they just call him William Lai? He gave himself an English name so that Western media wouldn't butcher his name, and they did it anyway
Lie Cheater and DPP's last president Tsai are American citizens to be. Lie's son and Tsai's sister are already American citizens.
The good news segment today is excellent. So wholesome.
Most peaceful Taiwan parlement session
Tldr daily my beloved
Fighting in the Parliament seems a tradition of Taiwan version of democracy.
0:28 His name is Lai Ching-te, not Lai Ching
"Te" being pronounced "Terr"
At least the polticians are beating each other instead of the people that elect them
Insane that the fire department has to rely on random donations like the one mentioned at the end of the video, but the police departments are always fully stocked and provisioned with military grade equipment. Cool and normal
Why there are no fights in US Congress?
Because that would require someone in congress to care about something other than their income from super pacs
90% of them can barely walk they are so old
Finally found a benefit of having the oldest government in the world. The elderly in U.S. congress are too busy having their nap times and lack the energy to physically fight each other.
“President elect lai ching” is hilarious. His family name is lai, given name is ching te. Lai ching makes no sense. You might as well say uk pm shi sunak, chinese president xi jin
In Taiwan we watch Parliament channel for entertainment purpose, after all it is better watching law makers fighting each other than fighting invading CCP ourselves.
1:27 Good height, head on the correct side, both arms wrapped and strong pressure from the shoulders, big leg push. 10/10 form
Average day in Republic of China
As somebody from the Southern Illinois/Missouri region, I didn't expect to hear Missouri in the daily briefing, always good to hear a heartwarming story from my home region 🫶🏻
Today is Norwegian National Day🇧🇻
the KMT and TPP has negotiated a new version amendment in morning 17 May 2024 , which cannot be found in Taiwan parliament website, nor printed to all parliamentarians and tried to forcefully vote anonymously (last time it happened was at 1989)
Is China really considering invading Taiwan? If this is their Parliament, then how fierce is their military?
Lai Ching is not his "first name". In Chinese names, the surnames are first, unless otherwise indicated. His "first name" is Ching-te. His surname is Lai.
Anytime I hear about fights breaking out in a legislature, I think of that American congressman in the 1850s who beat another congressman with his cane
So, Sunak is cracking down on the potential professional workers?
Its that vibrant energy that made Taiwan into a highly developed country
"fighting does often take place in Taiwan's parliament" is the funniest shit I heard
There needs to be a better name than "bomblets", it's too cute.
Isn't this just a regular Friday for the taiwanese MPs?
"you tell them, Kwi-Chang! No more big government!!!"
Why do Tawainese allow their leaders to bring such shame from the world?
Look, I'm old enough now to remember that stuff like this isn't news. Parliamentarians fist-fighting each other on camera is Top Three most widely-known things about Taiwan, alongside "it's the little China" and "no, you're thinking of ThaiLAND".
Democracy, Authoritarian, Free Market, Socialism, Communism, Monarchy, Republic: The government is always above the law.
His name is Lai Ching-te, not Lai Ching
Lie Cheater
They’ve been cracking wise on Taiwanese Parliament since Cat In The Hat.
This image of fisticuffs in the Legislative Yuan with men in suits grabbing each other, I mean... 😂
Lol the Taiwanese president’s name is Lai Chin De btw
0:31 The new president is “Lai Ching-te”
Not Lai Ching.
I sure hope, that fire department instead of modernizing chooses to expand their scope of response. In Europe, we have professional and volunteer firefighters, with volunteers typically using second hand equipment donated by professionals. When there are big fires, you see the most modern cars next to true veterans, yet they interoperate basically perfectly. If they could mimic this European approach, I think they could spend the money better.
Might be a challenge when the town is less than 500 people and 140km away from the nearest city
Damn
aaaah, the news
They are just representing the people! 😂😂
Everybody is kung fu fighting
Taiwan is so nice and civilized that they teach us how wars should be fought: with scuffles and a fist, not with weapons
I love my state sometimes. Yay Missouri
your state couldnt even fund a fire department
@@sazm1998 DAMN LMAO
@@sazm1998 It could. That was the entire story.
Hi
20 Russian Naval Vessels have been destroyed? a third of it's fleet? I guess that is about their Black Sea Fleet? not their full naval assets?
Rinhas de políticos!
Uma pena que não tenhamos isso no Brasil!
Ia ser massa d+
Be like Sam Sloan.
Hahahaha who would have thought the Taiwan Parlament would be such a fighting pit?
Again?
You should make a new channel called TLDR Good News, would love to see a concentrated set of good news and success stories, shame it wouldn't get enough views to be worth while, since we react much more to negativity/neutral news than positivity.
Here is what I don’t understand about the Taiwan govt. fights: what do they accomplish? Are the rules made so that, if you can physically prevent someone from speaking or coming to a podium, they can’t call for a vote or something like that? What is being prevented from happening, procedurally speaking, with these fights?
Man wait til you hear about US' filibuster
@@hashbrown777 Nah, I know all about that. First, it is just someone talking non-stop, no tackling. Second, the goal is to prevent a particular vote or action from being taken by refusing to give up the floor and end the debate on an issue. This works because, in some cases, once a representative or senator is given the floor to speak, they can't be forced to yield the floor.
However, if a Senator hauled off and punched another one in the middle of a session, procedure would allow removing them from the chamber, and wouldn't stop anything from going forward.
I don't understand how the Taiwanese system's rules make it so that tackling people in the middle of a session affects actually does something. Is this tackling of opponents, if not exactly legal, an accepted practice? Does causing a brawl mean they have to end the session and can't vote on anything? Like, what are starting these fights actually doing, procedurally speaking?
After 8 years of being the central government, corrupted DPP only got 40% of votes in the 2024 election (got only 4 cities/counties out of 16 in 2022 election). DPP voters are mostly lowly educated, over 65 years old ,or live in the agricultural or heavy-industral southern part of Taiwan.
@@hashbrown777 That is nowhere near as fun for anyone.
@brunoccj how does the DPP appeal to their constituents, such as food producers? How are they corrupt in your opinion?
Cause of wrestling: DDP, party of Taiwan government wanna stop opposition party anti-corruption bill, the anti-corruption bill has been arranged for votes quite early, but Taiwan government do not want the anti-corruption bill to succeed, so such a drama scene appeared. Taiwan Government anti-anticorruption, this is how Taiwan Government manage democracy by ruining the rules and laws in order to maintain power, but at last, the anti-corruption bill still passed after wrestling.
You guys do a great job, but please include weekends for daily briefings
They take the weekends off.
That wasnt an uplifting story at all. Why the hell does firefighters performing a crucial service to a community get left with a budget of 170 dollars in the first place??? Missouri is a joke state
I know you guys are british, but this is tldr global. You should really tone it down with some random governing change in the UK, even more so since the UK is kinda irrelevant on the world stage.
Taiwan people do fight for theirs rights 😏😏
You tell them, Kwi-Chang. No more big government!
Вот именно без семьи
If you guys are bored of these serious news , then just watch Indian Elections and the campaigns of Political parties , they are better than stand up comedy
They're always fighting who cares
Politicians elsewhere: If elected, I will fight for you!
Politicians in Taiwan: If elected, I wil FIGHT for you! 👊🏻

In Hong Kong, Chinese or Taiwanese names, the two parts of the Given names are considered one name. So the President-elect's given names are Ching-te, you can just drop the Chine and consider Te as a middle name and drop it, dropping it would be like calling you Ge Findlay. Consider the hyphen, more often used in Taiwanese names to denote given names like Marie-Anne, Jean-François or double barrel last names, you wouldnt drop either one. The practice in Hong Kong is that they are written usually without the hyphen (eg. Chow Yuen Fat, where Yuan Fat being the given names) while Chinese names put them together as one word (Xi Jingping).
well things are not favoring the new Taiwan presidents favor and russia is planing more this moves in kharkiv as testing the waters
😂this news channel can’t research the name of the new president of Taiwan before publishing
"Yet despite this naval defeat at present it seems the Russians do still have the upper hand on its ground campaign". Yeah, I wonder why?😄
your coverage of the biden story is wholly incomplete leaving out the fact that house republicans already received FULL transcripts of the conversation. they want the audio for campaign ads. i’m reconsidering how much i trust your videos.
Really?
@@kianlakchi7182really what?
Same here. They keep biasing in favor of portraying Biden as old or senile, too. Lots of comments about how likely Trump is to win (based on polling) and no comment on the sizeable disconnect between polling and election results this year - on both sides of the aisle!
@@colddogs Did they actually receive transcripts (asking as a belgian)
@@kianlakchi7182 yes - from a PBS article on the matter: “Garland told reporters the Justice Department has gone to extraordinary lengths to provide information to the committees about special counsel Robert Hur's investigation, including a transcript of Biden's interview with Hur.”
“Nope, you are nitpicking and biased, I win, bye bye.” -Israel 2024
0:27 In an East Asian name, the family name comes first (Lai), not last. Just do what every one does and use the full name if you're going to make mistakes like this, it's as cringeworthy as if someone abbreviated Joe Biden to "President Joe Bide".
7:49 It's Twitter, not X, we all know how terrible the world's biggest Karen (Elon Musk) is with names, just look at his kids' names.
Taiwan rules, wish all of china was like them, they could rule the world.
i doubt china wants to be an american puppet
It's a disgrace how British universities have been made dependent on foreign students. I saw up close myself how it dilutes standards, denies places to British students and increases rents in the areas around campuses. And of course allowing them to stay in the UK to work for two years just means more jobs denied to British people, lower wages, higher rents etc.
Nothing more pathethic then the ICJ
Taiwan's parliament is just like that, that's not really that newsworthy.
Wow, first for once
0:29 A side note about LAI,CHING-TE's name. Lai is his surname, and CHING-TE his given name, pronounced something like "ching duh".
i hope all the additional makeup and accessories are because you've just felt like changing an appearance today, not because you felt like you need to look prettier to receive compliments on looks like your colleague. because honestly, it's not really needed - you do look great, truly. it just doesn't feel right to compliment on looks in the professional environment, but i guess since the other host receive some, it would be unfair to show restrain, lest you can come to a wrong conclusion.
Israel says it is at war. Israel also says Palestine is not a separate country. If the second statement is true, the first cannot be - a country does not go to war with its own residents, especially a less powerful ethnic group. It is easy to define what is actually going on when a country kills large numbers of an economically and politically disadvantaged ethnic group within their country.
Civil war has entered the chat
Israel is currently at war with Hamas, not Palestine, because it is the truth that Palestine is not a country, they are a breakaway state ruled by despots and terrorists. Israeli Arabs are not being killed, actually, they enjoy the same rights that Jews have in Israel, and even have the right to be excluded from the draft, which all Jewish Israelis do not have.
@@Person-rv7dt civil war is fought between two or more military organizations backed by civil authorities, not one military organization backed by a country killing 200 civilians for every "insurgent" they claim to have killed.
You're incredibly based.
@@davidray6962 1) Civil war: a war between citizens of the same country
2) Are you suggesting Hamas is not a military organisation backed by a civil authority? They are litterally the government, military, and captors of all Palestinians living in Gaza
Tldr are you gonna announce how in rafah the idf found the bodies of four hostages today that were murdered by the Palestinians and found in underground tunnels near the Egypt border?
Taiwanese behave more alike to the China than you’d think indeed.
When have you heard about a fist fight in the CCP? I'm pretty sure it would have made the news if it happned.
Taiwan MP clashed. It's more of a mention rather than any explanation in a minute.
Hope one day may be you can do a more detailed video on it perhaps. Although language would be a barrier.
A bit of explanation from my understanding.
DPP has been in power for the last 8 years in both executive branch and parliamnent. They could pass whatever law they want. And with that power, was a lot of alleged corruption.
After this year's election, DPP lost majority in parliament, hence the KMT and the independent new TPP wanted to pass reforms to be able to open enquiries and hearings into past and future corruptions by the government branches. A comparison would be give the taiwanese parliament similar powers to the congress hearing in USA.
Claims by DPP about bypassing customary consulation is totally false. There has been a month of investigation and committee hearing on the subject but DPP has used every opportunity to delay progress. "Unconstitutional abuse of power" is bullshit too. The KMT and TPP has the majority and vote on the new law.
Just like when DPP had the majority they would pass any law they want. That is called democracy.
So now DPP starts a brawl in the parliamemt to again try to prevent the law from being passed and disrupt the parliamentary voting process.
I think that you guys show one sided view when it comes to Russia - Ukraine war and I think it shows bias. Until that bias disappears I shaw grant you the dislike button.
Like what?
This channel is still seething about Brexit.
russia and china is moving. they are expanding their power
