The legislation aims to prevent meddling by external hostile forces, ensure national security and social stability, and uphold the sovereignty of the Republic of China, and its democratic and constitutional institutions.
The act defines external hostile forces, or infiltration sources, as nations and political entities or groups that are at war or in a military standoff with Taiwan, or advocates endangering the nation’s sovereignty through non-peaceful means.
The legislation prohibits people from making political donations or funding a referendum drive at the behest or with the funding of infiltration sources, their governments or intermediaries, or any other organization that they exert control over.
