He wants to open the legislative floor to Chinese tourists so they can learn from the island's democracy.<br /><br />Mr. Wu of the ruling Nationalist Party on Friday proposed the move, arguing that nowhere in Taiwan was the island's democracy more thoroughly implemented.<br /><br />Speaker Wang Jin-pyng agreed to look at the proposal, hoping it could teach a thing or two to those who grew up in authoritarian mainland China.<br /><br />Improved relations between Taiwan and the Chinese regime in recent years have brought a surge of tourists from China, with 600,000 Chinese visiting Taiwan last year alone.<br /><br />Some tour operators in Taiwan have reported seeing Chinese tourists glued to their hotel room TV screens, watching political talk shows instead of travelling the country.<br /><br />But it isn't just mainland Chinese who find Taiwan's politics a spectacle. The small nation's parliament became world famous for its brawls as it transitioned to democracy in the 1990s.
