Taiwan's foreign ministry says every overseas office has finished updating its emergency plans to protect Taiwanese abroad from Chinese pressure — a defensive move, and so far no one has needed the help.

• China's new "ethnic unity" law took effect July 1, raising fears Beijing will reach across borders to intimidate people.
• All Taiwanese missions abroad have updated emergency response plans, tailored to each host country rather than one fixed procedure.
• No actual case of a Taiwanese person abroad needing this help has come up yet.
• Taiwan is building a safety net with the US, Japan and Europe through both government and private channels.
• The US, Germany and Britain have already raised concerns and pushed back against the Chinese law.

Outlook: Taipei will keep pressing allies to treat cross-border repression as a shared security issue, with more coordination expected through international forums.
