As Taiwan anticipates an unprecedented campaign by the Beijing regime to meddle in the island’s presidential and legislative elections early next year, local lawmakers have created legislation aimed to deter foreign interference.
Lawmakers from the Taiwan Statebuilding Party and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have drafted the “Foreign Forces Influence Transparency Act,” which requires an agent of “foreign forces” to register with the government if they intend to “influence elections, referendums, the administration or repeal of policies, a political party’s operations, and communications.”
