💨 Abstract

Taiwan is considering altering its immigration laws for residents of Hong Kong and Macau to prevent Chinese influence. Proposed changes include removing an optional path to citizenship, extending the time for permanent residency, and increased scrutiny for applicants with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. These adjustments aim to close a national security loophole caused by Taiwan's relaxed immigration policies for Hong Kongers, especially after Beijing imposed its National Security Law in 2020.
