香港反送中運動在台灣獲得從民間到政府的普遍支持，蔡英文政府也於運動初期即承諾啟動人道關懷政策，透過公私協力，協助來台尋求庇護的香港抗爭者。2020 年 7 月 1 日，因應港版國安法實施，蔡政府正式成立「台港服務交流辦公室」，並設立官方諮詢窗口，由政府行政部門接手公民團體長達一年的庇護實務工作。然而，由於政府提供庇護的實務經驗不足，未意識到現行法規制度缺漏造成實務工作上諸多困境，法制化工程因此一再挫敗。本文認為，庇護機制法制化是未來台灣政府執行香港人道關懷專案時無可迴避的挑戰，法制化失敗所添增的社會外部成本，將導致民間與政府之間的緊張關係。

The Anti-Extradition Protest in Hong Kong received overwhelming support from Taiwanese civil society and the Taiwanese government, and President Tsai committed herself to launching a humanitarian-care policy for Hong Kong protestors in the very early stage of the protest, aiming to assist protestors in cooperation with civil organizations. In response to the National Security Law implemented in Hong Kong, President Tsai, on July 1, 2020, established a Taiwan-Hong Kong Office for Exchange and Services as an official contact window to carry on the task of providing asylum that had been done by civil organizations in the previous year. Nonetheless, due to a lack of experience, the administrative sector did not realize that the current legal system is practically incapable of providing asylum. The effort to legalize asylum was hence stymied. This article argues that, in dealing with the special case of providing humanitarian care for persons from Hong Kong, legalization of a mechanism for asylum is a challenge that the Taiwanese government cannot afford to avoid. A failure to legalize asylum will increase the external costs on civil organizations and is likely to render any cooperation between civil society and the government tense.
