TAIPEI, May 29 (Reuters) - Taiwan's cabinet will reject and send back for review
legislation the opposition passed on Tuesday on parliamentary reforms that have
brought tens of thousands onto the streets to protest amid accusations of
Chinese interference.
The peaceful protests, and sometimes violent confrontations in parliament over
the reforms, have been taking place against a backdrop of broader concern about
efforts by China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, to influence the
island's politics and split Taiwanese public opinion.

The Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) Lai Ching-te won the presidency in
January elections, but the party lost its majority in parliament. Taiwan's main
opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), along with the small Taiwan People's
Party, together have the most seats.
The parliament reforms give lawmakers the power to ask the military, private
companies or individuals to disclose information deemed relevant by
parliamentarians, who have the power to punish those who fail to cooperate.

They also criminalise contempt of parliament by government officials, and
require the president to give regular reports to parliament and answer
lawmakers' questions, which would be a first for Taiwan.
In a statement late on Monday, the cabinet said the legislation could breach the
constitution and separation of power between the executive and legislative
branches, and once it had received the documents it will send them back for
parliament to reconsider.

The cabinet said while that was likely to be vetoed by parliament, it was "duty
bound" to do this.
The DPP, which says the reforms were forced through without proper consultation
and their content either vague or an over-reach of power, said it would support
its lawmakers to ask the constitutional court for an interpretation on whether
the laws and the way the reforms were pushed through were constitutional.

The DPP, and many of the protesters, have repeatedly accused the KMT of being in
league with Beijing in trying to ram through the legislation.
Several senior KMT leaders have visited China this year in what the party says
is an effort to keep open lines of communication. China refuses to talk to Lai
or his party, saying they are "separatists".
The KMT strongly denies being pro-Beijing and says the parliament reforms are
meant to improve government accountability.

"The KMT dismisses the accusations of collusion with China as unfounded and
politically driven," the party said in statement in the early hours of
Wednesday.
China views Taiwan as its own territory. The government in Taipei rejects
Beijing's sovereignty claims, saying only the island's people can decide their
future.
