Does Taiwan's president have the authority to sell out the country? Politically and socially speaking, this is not easy to explain, and legally speaking, this is also a hard-to-answer question.
The question in dispute here is not whether the president could abuse his or her power, but whether an action constitutes as committing treason. If we are to focus on whether the president could betray Taiwan, it becomes a harder question.
