Taiwan Seeks Stronger Laws Against Beijing's Transnational Repression

Taiwan is seeking stronger legal tools to counter transnational repression allegedly carried out on Beijing’s behalf. Recent cases include the alleged surveillance of Taipei mayoral candidate Puma Shen, an attack on journalist and academic Yaita Akio, and a car attack on comedian Huang Yi-hao. Taiwan’s justice ministry says the current legal framework does not adequately deter such crimes and is working with other agencies on amendments to the Anti-Infiltration Act.
