The regulations applicable to Chinese spouses applying for residency and naturalization differ from those for foreign spouses.69 The Cross-Strait Act governs the former,70 while the latter are governed by the Nationality Act . The Cross-Strait Act stipulates that Chinese citizens who have applied for residency or settlement can also apply for their lineal blood relatives over the age of 70 to settle in Taiwan.71 However, no relevant provisions in the Nationality Act allow for aged lineal blood relatives of foreign spouses who have applied for naturalization to settle in Taiwan. 55. Recommendations: The NHRC is concerned about the inconsistency in conditions for Chinese and other foreign spouses to reside in Taiwan, obtain Taiwanese nationality, and apply for aged lineal blood relatives to settle in Taiwan after obtaining residency or Taiwanese nationality. The government should initiate social dialogue, establish regulations in accordance with General Recommendation No. 30, ensure that new immigrants are not discriminated against in obtaining opportunities for citizenship or naturalization, and review the regulations for aged lineal blood relatives to settle in Taiwan. 69 70 71 Article 17 of the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area Article 4 of the Nationality Act Article 16 of the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area 41
