A fight was reported in Taiwan's parliament over a new controversial economic agreement with China. Two legislators were sent to hospital after being severely injured. The Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement cuts import tariffs on about 800 items from China. Opponents worry the agreement could hurt Taiwan's small businesses in China. After Thursday's fight broke out, the parliament's speaker called for a recess until Friday.It is pertinent to mention that the parliament sessions often descend into physical violence as lawmakers seek to appear strong on issues of major public interest.
