By Sean Lin / Staff reporterThe Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus yesterday urged Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators to halt a review of an anti-infiltration bill, saying that the bill would subject Taiwanese working or studying in China to “thought censorship,” essentially reinstating martial law. The DPP caucus last month sponsored a motion to allow the bill to advance to a second reading and earlier this month filed a motion to review it on Tuesday next week, which passed with a majority vote. If passed, the bill would reinstate martial law and usher in an era of “green terror,” he said, referring to the DPP’s affiliation with the pan-green camp. The review’s scheduling shows that it is being pushed through before the Jan. 11 presidential and legislative elections, KMT Legislator Arthur Chen (陳宜民) said. The DPP caucus has “neutered” the Mainland Affairs Council with the bill, as council Minister Chen Ming-tong (陳明通) has not yet said a word about it, Hsu added.
