Are NGOs in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau Subject to This Law?

Are Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau considered “foreign” under this law?

Yes. The term 境外 (jing wai) used in the law, which we translate as “foreign,” is frequently translated as “overseas,” but its literal translation is “outside the borders.” For legal and regulatory purposes, jing wai includes Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
