China will make people who support Taiwan’s independence criminally liable for life, according to a spokesman for China’s Taiwan Affairs Office, amid heightened pressures between Beijing and Taipei.
On Friday, the Taiwan Affairs Office in Beijing advised that “ the landmass will pursue felonious responsibility for Taiwan independence diehards in agreement with the law, to be effective for life”.
This is the first time that China has spelled out primarily the discipline for people supposed to be pro-Taiwan independence.
China claims Taiwan as its home – to be seized one day, by force if necessary – and has boosted sweats in recent times to insulate the tone- ruled islet on the transnational stage.
The office on Friday named Taiwan’s Premier Su Tseng-chang, congress Speaker You Si-Kun and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu as people who are “ stubbornly-Taiwan independence”, and made public for the first time it has drawn up a list of people who fall into this order.
China will apply discipline on the people on the list, by not letting them enter the landmass and China’s Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau said spokesman Zhu Fenglian in a statement on Friday.
The blacklisted people won’t be allowed to cooperate with realities or people from the landmass, nor will their companies or realities who fund them be allowed to benefit from the landmass, she said.
Donations
Taiwanese politicians incompletely calculate donations from companies to fund their election juggernauts.
Numerous Taiwanese companies decide gains from doing business with the landmass. Knockouts of thousands of Taiwanese presently work in the landmass.
China will also take “ any other necessary measures” against these people, Zhu said.
She said the communication China wants to shoot to sympathizers of Taiwan independence is “ Those who forget their ancestors, betray the motherland and resolve the country, will noway end up well and will be passed by the people and judged by history.”
Jessica Drun, the non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub, said that there will probably be a “ mask operation” of the policy towards China’s interpretation of what’s “pro-independence”.
“ Basically anyone that does n’t fall in line within the rigid bounds of Beijing’s‘One China’Principle,” Drum said.
“ Those who are of Han descent and have family in China and Hong Kong will be disproportionally affected given the PRC’s strict notion of‘ betraying the motherland.’”
