TAIPEI—Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen urged parliament on Dec. 25 to have more discussion on a proposed anti-infiltration bill which the government says is needed to combat Chinese communist regime’s influence and has been condemned by the main opposition and Beijing.
The legislation is part of a years-long effort to combat what many in Taiwan see as Chinese regime’s efforts to influence politics and the democratic process on the island. China claims Taiwan as its territory, to be brought under Beijing’s control by force if necessary.
