TSU caucus says travel ban too late

KMT Legislator Tseng Tsai Mei-tso (曾蔡美佐), however, concurred that the government should have long imposed measures in early March.

"The government is not alert enough," she said.

Chin Heng-wei (金恆煒), a political observer and editor in chief of Contemporary Monthly magazine noted a couple of reasons behind the DPP administration's seemly inefficient decision-making attitude when it comes to issues concerning China.

"The DPP carries great pressure from the business sector, which is unceasingly advocating looser restrictions on policies concerning China," Chin said.

"Another reason that might serve to explain the DPP administration's inefficiency when it comes to matters concerning China is that the DPP is not a majority in the Legislature Yuan," he added.
