180px|"Anti-invasion" laws proposed in Taiwan Two Taiwanese political parties  unveiled new bills today in response to the new "anti-secession" law passed earlier this week by the People's Republic of China. The Democratic Progressive Party is expected to introduce a bill giving the Taiwanese President the power to take "non-peaceful" action, or other actions, to "safeguard Taiwan's sovereignty and territory". The draft version of the law mandates that the Taiwanese President must report to the legislature on any such actions within thirty days. The seven-article draft law states that the Taiwan issue is not a part of China's internal affairs, but rather that it is an international matter between nations. It goes on to state that it is necessary and urgent to quickly enact counter-legislation to deter  China's annexation efforts. It further calls for increased trust and understanding between the two sides, including greater trade, sporting, and cultural links. Taiwanese independence has been a thorny issue in recent years, as  Taiwanese politicians insist that the democratic island is a sovereign nation, and Chinese authorities insist that it is a part of the PRC.
