Draft revisions proposed by DDP Legislator Lin I-chin (林宜瑾) and 19 others would introduce the legal designation of “gray zone actors” and mandate that such actors proactively disclose their funding sources. First, “gray zone actors” who accept direct or indirect funding from infiltration sources, but fail to report or deliberately file false reports. Third, any person who, under the instruction, commission or funding of infiltration sources, donates activity funds to “gray zone” actors. “Gray zone” actors who fail to comply with reporting requirements, submit false reports or obstruct official inspections should bear criminal responsibility, it says. Separately, DPP Legislators Hsu Fu-kuei (徐富癸) and Shen Fa-hui (沈發惠) have proposed amendments to the National Security Act (國家安全法) to address gaps in penalties for participating in organizations affiliated with foreign hostile forces or facilitating them.
