The so-called anti-infiltration act restrains the free will of Taiwan compatriots and deprives them of the right to engage in cross-Strait exchanges, a mainland spokesperson said Wednesday.
It is a downright evil act, said the spokesperson.
"The act may cause harm for a while, but cannot stop compatriots on both sides from advancing exchanges, cooperation and development," said Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesperson with the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, at a regular press conference.
Taiwan's legislature passed the so-called anti-infiltration act on Dec. 31, 2019.
