Mainland Affairs Council revealed 9 major patterns Liang Wenjie: The CCP’s cross-border suppression of Taiwan reached 149 people

The Chinese Communist Party’s cross-border suppression of Taiwan occurs one after another. Liang Wenjie, deputy chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, said in the Legislative Yuan today that the Chinese Communist Party’s cross-border suppression of Taiwan includes nine major forms, and the targets are constantly expanding. Since 2005, the number of people involved in cross-border suppression of Taiwan by the Chinese Communist Party has reached 131 and 149 people. Related forms include physical attacks, criminal accountability, psychological oppression, digital oppression, border control, coordinated attacks, economic sanctions, democratic interference, and mechanism abuse.

The Judiciary and Legislative Affairs Committee of the Legislative Yuan today invited the Ministry of Justice, the Mainland Affairs Council, the National Security Bureau and other relevant ministries to make a special report on "the infringement of cross-border repression on our country's democracy, rule of law and people's basic rights and legal prevention mechanisms."

Liang Wenjie pointed out that the CCP’s ambition to annex Taiwan and eliminate the Republic of China has never changed. Under the current complex and severe situation, the CCP has accelerated its military preparations for invasion of Taiwan, in an attempt to "force reunification by force" and "force surrender by force". At the same time, it has intensified its legal, psychological and public opinion war against Taiwan.

Liang Wenjie mentioned that in recent years, the Beijing authorities have accelerated the "anti-independence and promotion of reunification" and launched "Transnational Repression, TM" (Transnational Repression, TM) in an attempt to achieve unification without unification and rule before rule, and intimidate and shock all those who are dissatisfied with the CCP's actions and have the courage to pursue freedom.

Liang Wenjie criticized the CCP’s use of cross-border suppression to shape its jurisdiction over Taiwan and create a chilling effect to suppress my country’s sovereignty. In the name of so-called "punishing Taiwan independence," the Chinese Communist Party has carried out cross-border suppression of Taiwanese people. It also claims that relevant actions are based on Chinese Communist Party laws and regulations, thereby establishing its jurisdiction over Taiwan.

Liang Wenjie said that even if the CCP cannot actually arrest Taiwanese people and sentence them in China, by repeatedly conveying the message that "even in Taiwan, as long as the CCP determines that "Taiwan independence" or other political issues are involved, they may be dealt with," it can force the Taiwanese people to self-censor, creating a chilling effect, and the voices supporting our country as a sovereign and independent country will gradually disappear.

According to the Mainland Affairs Council's summary, the CCP's cross-border suppression of Taiwan includes nine major forms, and the target targets are constantly expanding. Liang Wenjie said that since 2005 to date, the CCP has carried out cross-border suppression of 131 and 149 people in Taiwan. Related forms include: 1. Physical attacks, such as attacks, splashing paint, fake car accidents, etc. 2. Criminal accountability, such as offering rewards, arrests, judicial trials, etc. 3. Psychological oppression, such as being listed as a die-hard Taiwan independence activist or an accomplice of Taiwan independence thugs, or being monitored or followed.

4. Digital oppression, such as spreading satellite photos of homes, spreading false information, etc. 5. Border control, such as prohibiting the parties and their families from entering and exiting the country. 6. Consecutive attacks, such as threatening and harassing the victim’s family members, relatives, friends, or business contacts. 7. Economic sanctions, such as restricting transaction partners, freezing bank accounts, etc.

8. Democratic interference, such as intimidation and threats against our country’s civil servants, affecting the normal operation of the country’s democratic mechanisms, etc. 9. Mechanism abuse, such as abusing judicial procedures, obstructing international participation, using international organizations to suppress personal freedoms, etc. The target targets include politicians, national defense military personnel, judicial personnel, academics and civil society figures.

Targeting the CCP’s cross-border suppression methods against Taiwan? Liang Wenjie said in an interview at the Legislative Yuan that with regard to cross-border suppression, the CCP will splash paint on some people in Taiwan and follow them in prison. From the case of Akio Yaita and the case of comedian Huang Yihao, we can see that it has evolved to the use of violence to harm people who are displeased. This increasingly intensified practice is something we must comprehensively prevent.
