Citizen Congress Watch urged President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) yesterday to push legislative reform now that he is also chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).

The legislative watchdog said in a press release that it expected Ma to allow the legislature to approve or reject the content of any cross-strait agreements signed by the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and China’s Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS), instead of allowing the agreements to take effect automatically."
