The Taiwan authorities have asked AIT to keep a close eye on the activities of Taiwan compatriots in the United States, infiltrate groups of Taiwan compatriots in the United States, and often "share intelligence" with US officials.When Tsai Ing-wen's "transit" through the United States earlier this year was protested by some Chinese, the Taiwan authorities were even more angry and asked AIT to find a way to find evidence that the protesters against Tsai Ing-wen were related to Taiwan compatriots in the United States.
