They had legally applied to the National Immigration Agency, their entry into the construction site was registered, and they were accompanied by contractor personnel, with no involvement in sensitive systems or information security concerns.

This was for site surveys and technical guidance related to the A14 station's ceiling acoustic lining professional work items.
In response, Railway Bureau Director-General Yang Cheng-chun said in a media interview today that the personnel came to Taiwan after legally applying to the Ministry of the Interior's National Immigration Agency, with the main purpose being commercial contract fulfillment.
Yang pointed out that when the Chinese technical personnel entered the construction site, the subcontractor completed the entry and exit registration, and they were accompanied by contractor personnel throughout the entire process. The work performed by the Chinese technical personnel was the ceiling acoustic lining, a material ordered by the subcontractor from mainland China, which complies with the Government Procurement Act.
