taipei city council

Taipei City Council is the public opinion organ of Taipei City, Taiwan, China.

In 1949, the national government moved to Taiwan and implemented local autonomy in 1950. Taipei city established a City Council of a city under the jurisdiction of a province, but it lacked legal basis and could not be guaranteed by law. Even if the resolution was not necessarily adopted by the administrative organs, it was often changed by the higher authorities. In 1967, Taipei city was transformed into a "municipality directly under the central government". With the reform, the authority of Taipei city increased, and the authority of Taipei City Council also expanded. After Taiwan's "municipal autonomy law" was passed in 1994, the authority of Taipei City Council was officially protected by law. The legislative power of Taipei City Council in local laws and regulations and the authority of relevant local legislatures have been greatly improved.

On December 25, 2018, the county and city councils in Taiwan held elections for their presidents and vice presidents. Chen Jinxiang is the speaker of the Taipei City Council and ye Linchuan is the vice speaker.
