Should foreign troops be sent to Taiwan?

I’m on ARC, not gonna start protesting anything, thank you

You can protest if you want as a legal resident. Just not during sensitive times (I.e. close to elections)

I don’t know if I would risk it while on a ARC. They can make a note for any reason they want, and not renew or revoke your ARC. APRC has a little more rights in that they should only get deported for certain actions that result in jail time over a certain length. If you are on ARC, get into a fight (even self defense), you can get deported if the other person reports you. Better to avoid all conflicts and public protests. Someone in public could pick a fight with you.

Public protests and foreigners?

I just heard, but have no idea if this is true… that foreigners are NOT allowed to participate in public protests…? Is this true ??? If so, what are the consequences…?

Also have you seen some of the online comments on news sites when they post something foreigner related like tax rebate for ARC holders? Lots of closet racists. Many work for the government.

And some real life experience from the other thread:

@Hokwongwei

I was asked probing questions at a small protest last year. The woman did it very subtly, by cozying up and just chatting with me, and when I caught on that she had an agenda she wouldn’t tell me what organization she worked for. (Almost certainly either CLA or Immigration).

After chatting a while she finally admitted that she was there to give cease and desists to any participating foreigners because it’s illegal. I was in the clear because I was actually there to do a report on the protest, but I wonder what would have happened if I were trying to take part. As I recall she mentioned something about deportation in passing, but I might be wrong about that part.
