President William Lai (賴清德) yesterday announced 17 strategies to counter growing infiltration efforts against Taiwan, from reinstating the military court system to enhancing scrutiny of immigrants from China, Hong Kong and Macau.

Lai spoke to reporters after meeting with national security officials yesterday morning in light of a series of incidents in which Taiwanese military personnel, entertainers and Chinese spouses colluded with Beijing on its “united front” work.
