Traditional Chinese characters Traditional Chinese characters

Traditional Chinese characters are Chinese characters in any character set that does not contain newly created characters or character substitutions performed after 1946. They are most commonly the characters in the standardized character sets of Taiwan, of Hong Kong and Macau, and in the Kangxi Dictionary. The modern shapes of traditional Chinese characters first appeared with the emergence of the clerical script during the Han Dynasty, and have been more or less stable since the 5th century.

Legislative Yuan National legislature of Republic of China

The Legislative Yuan is the unicameral legislature of the Republic of China now based in Taiwan. It is one of the five branches of government stipulated by the Constitution of the Republic of China, which follows Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People. Sometimes referred to as a "parliament", the Legislative Yuan, under Sun's political theory, is a branch of government. According to the Judicial Yuan's interpretation number 76 of the Constitution (1957), the parliament of the republic includes all three of the National Assembly, the Legislative Yuan, and the Control Yuan. However, after constitutional amendments effectively transferring almost all of the National Assembly's powers to the Legislative Yuan in the late 1990s, it has become more common in Taiwanese newspapers to refer to the Legislative Yuan as “the parliament”.

The Temporary Provisions symbols the country's entering into the state of emergency and granted the Kuomintang led government of the Republic of China extra-constitutional powers.

Chen was injured in a traffic collision en route to a campaign event for Luo Wen-jia in 2005, and resolved to promote amendments to the Road Traffic Management and Punishment Law. His efforts were largely unsuccessful until 2006, when Jason Hu and his wife were hurt in a similar incident. [21] Though fines were introduced for drivers if passengers were not wearing seat belts while traveling on freeways, [22] a related proposal to make seat belt use compulsory did not pass at the time. [23] A bill proposed by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in 2011 was later passed and took effect as law, [24] with a special provision that placed fines directly on the passengers of taxis if they did not comply with verbal and written instructions for seat belt use.
