"I don't know why I was arrested." SEF revealed that three high-tech talents were detained in China in August and September.

SEF Secretary-General Luo Wenjia Jin said at a regular press conference on the 13th that in August and September this year, there were three cases of Taiwanese high-tech talents who went to China to have their personal freedoms restricted. These people worked in Taiwan, went to China for short-term business trips, and did not participate in political or religious activities. The most worrying thing about these cases is that the parties involved may not know why they were arrested.

Chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council Qiu Chuizheng stated in the Legislative Yuan a few days ago that since February this year, there have been three cases of Taiwanese high-tech talents traveling to China whose personal freedom was restricted. Luo Wenjia further stated today that relevant cases occurred in August and September this year, and at least one of them occurred at the end of August. Not all of them occurred after China implemented new entry-exit management regulations on September 15.

Luo Wenjia pointed out that the biggest difference between these cases and the past is that the parties concerned are not political activists, nor are they involved in religious groups. The parties involved are Taiwanese employees who come from Taiwan and work in general private enterprises, including Taiwanese enterprises and foreign companies. Their positions include managers or cadres. They went to China to handle company business, and the business trip was quite short.

Luo Wenjia revealed that one of the parties involved had not been to China for eight years because a colleague who was originally scheduled to go to China for a business trip had something to do, so he went there instead. He was expected to stay only for three days, but unexpectedly his personal freedom was restricted.

Luo Wenjia bluntly said that what is worrying about such cases is that "the parties involved may not know why they were arrested." The SEF may not get a clear answer when it inquires from the other side. If even corporate employees who are simply traveling for business and have no political or religious background may be detained, "then many people may be arrested. This is the biggest risk."

In addition, Luo Wenjia also said that there were people who were detained by the Chinese police on suspicion of fraud for remitting money to their families in Taiwan, and were only released after about a month; there were also people who traveled to China with a group, and the whole group returned to Taiwan smoothly, but only one person is still stranded there.

Luo Wenjia said that after the relevant cases occurred, the family members were worried that the disclosure of information would affect the treatment of the parties involved in China, so they chose to keep a low profile in the hope that the incident would be minimized. The SEF is not deliberately exaggerating the dangers of China, but is reminding Chinese people to carefully assess the risks of traveling to China if it is not necessary.
