An attorney on Sunday spoke out in support of two bills aimed at limiting the influence of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) proxies, as the Mainland Affairs Council said that the bills are still subject to public feedback.
Democratic Progressive Party and New Power Party lawmakers last year pushed for the passage of a draft “hostile foreign influence transparency act” and an amendment to the Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (臺灣地區與大陸地區人民關係條例) to target individuals or groups acting under the direction of “infiltration sources.”
