Taiwan Premier Rejects Opposition Spending Plans

Taiwan Premier Rejects Opposition Spending Plans

The leader of Taiwan's government, Premier Cho Jung-tai, said he won't follow new rules made by the opposition parties in parliament.

These rules give more money to local governments, but the premier thinks they are not good for the country's money situation.

He said the opposition didn't talk to the government enough before making these rules.

The opposition parties are upset and say the government is being unfair.

The premier said if the opposition doesn't like his decision, they can try to remove him from his job.

But the opposition doesn't want to do that because it might cause more problems.

The premier and the opposition have different ideas about how to run the country.
