Security tax idea again under fire

The DPP legislative caucus has not come out in support of the tax but has urged the government to draw up concrete measures for protecting investments in China.

"If investing in China is dangerous, the government should clearly limit businessmen," said Cheng Pao-chin (鄭寶清), the DPP's legislative caucus leader.

Other government officials, particularly those involved in China affairs, denied that imposing a national security tax was a set policy for the government.
