Taiwan's government plans to amend the law to punish those who carry out transnational repression on China's behalf — good news for Democratic Progressive Party politicians and for Taiwanese living overseas, bad news for the collaborators who help China surveil Taiwanese.

• Premier Cho Jung-tai said that acts of following, harassing or threatening others while acting on the instructions, commission or funding of hostile external forces should be assigned criminal penalties under the Anti-Infiltration Act.
• Recent cases include a Chinese woman in the United States suspected of surveilling members of Lai Ching-te's family, and a private investigation firm that took money from parties in Hong Kong to surveil members of Puma Shen's family.
• The Mainland Affairs Council has acknowledged that the current legal framework is inadequate, while legislator Lin Yi-chin argues that a dedicated chapter should also be added to the Criminal Code to criminalise all forms of assistance, including the provision of technology, accounts, equipment, personnel and funds.
• Cho Jung-tai criticised China for directly interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and infringing on their judicial jurisdiction, saying this has already provoked resentment worldwide and that Taiwan can no longer remain silent.

Outlook: The Executive Yuan will put forward a draft amendment to the Anti-Infiltration Act, and hopes the Legislative Yuan will pass it as soon as possible.
