A report examining the implementation of the Anti-infiltration Act (反滲透法) laid out potential reasons for no charges having been laid since it took effect on Jan. 15 last year.
The report, which the Executive Yuan submitted to the Legislative Yuan, said that the act has not been invoked in laying charges against any suspect.
Implementation of the act itself might have been a deterrent, with would-be offenders taking a wait-and-see approach, the report said.
A significant decrease in cross-Taiwan Strait activity amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the act’s focus on election activities might also be factors, the report said.
