Taiwan used to be known internationally for its economic prosperity. Nowadays it is the violence in its Legislature that makes the island globally well-known.
When physical confrontations first appeared in our Legislative Yuan, many foreign observers said the violence was only a sign of the island's transition from authoritarian rule to democracy.
But it's been 20 years since martial law was dismantled on the island. There are no signs yet that the chaos has abated.
There is much truth in the widely held view that, to succeed as a lawmaker in Taiwan, one had better be well trained in such martial arts as taekwondo or karate.
