The government says it will establish an organisation to deliver relief that includes settlement and employment
Taipei — Taiwan on Thursday promised to settle Hong Kongers who flee the Chinese-governed city due to political reasons, offering help from employment to counselling as China pushes new security legislation that has triggered fresh protests.
He said counselling services will also be available for Hong Kongers, some of whom may take part in increasingly violent pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s demonstrators have won widespread sympathy in democratic Taiwan, which China considers as its territory to be taken by force, if necessary. Taiwan has shown no interest in being ruled by autocratic China.
