Taiwan is investigating organised crime links to Chinese efforts in transnational repression, including attacks on critics like a comedian who mocked Xi Jinping. Taiwan also reports increased Chinese maritime patrols and militia boats around the island, viewing these as part of a pressure campaign.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a tightening security and legal environment in Taiwan cracking down on networks linked to China’s political repression. You should prepare for new local laws targeting collaborators and backers of such groups.
