Taiwan's government had indeed played an effective role to protect Ms. Ordidor this time. But it had also deported many foreign activists before on the ground of "not conforming to purpose of visit". Recent example is the deportation of several Korean workers who were forcibly laid off by Hydis corporation in 2015, a subsidiary of a major Taiwanese conglomerate Yong Feng Yu group. On the other hand, Taiwan's congress had failed to pass refugee law for a long time, which means that it could be hard to seek political asylum in Taiwan. During current COVID-19 pandemic, many states has taken measures to tighten social control, and Taiwan is no exception. Yi Hsiang Shih, general secretary of Taiwan Association for Human Rights, indicated that many measures taken by Taiwan's government are lack of due process of law, such as digital tracking, restriction on traveling abroad to designated occupation and announcing names of people breaking quarantine regulation.

A series of disputes over Philippine labor department's threat to deport a Filipino migrant worker due to her criticism to president Duterte had sparked a heated debate in the Philippines and Taiwan. It also revealed the problem behind the absurd broker system between this two countries.
