Democratic Progressive Party legislator Shen Boyang recently proposed to manage the 'Fifth Column,' sparking controversy. In an interview, he stated that surveillance is not the goal and emphasized the need for transparency mechanisms for high-risk individuals like legislators and village chiefs when traveling to China. Shen clarified that not all members of the Fifth Column are Chinese Communist Party spies; rather, it encompasses individuals susceptible to Chinese influence due to business or family ties in China. He advocates establishing declaration mechanisms and management methods, not surveillance or tracking as misconstrued by the public.
