The CCP creates an "atmosphere for unification" against Taiwan. Mainland Affairs Council: Strengthening national security countermeasures

Chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council Qiu Chuizheng pointed out in the Legislative Yuan today that the Chinese Communist Party promotes the benefits of reunification and creates an atmosphere for unification. In July, the "National Unity and Progress Promotion Act" was implemented to link "national unification" with "ethnic unity," unilaterally giving the Taiwanese people the legal obligation to bear "unification." In the face of the Chinese Communist Party's increased pressure on Taiwan and efforts to promote reunification, the government has firmly defended national sovereignty and security.

The Legislative Yuan Home Affairs Committee today invited the Mainland Affairs Council and the Straits Exchange Foundation to make business reports and prepare questions.

Qiu Chuizheng said that since June this year, the Chinese Communist Party's military aircraft and ships have continued to harass Taiwan, and in the name of Japan and the Philippines launching maritime delimitation, they have dispatched coast guard and scientific research ships to the eastern waters of Taiwan to conduct "special law enforcement" and environmental investment investigations. They have operated gray belt intrusions and seriously undermined the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and regional stability.

Qiu Chuizheng pointed out that the CCP has promoted the benefits of reunification and created an atmosphere for reunification. In July, it implemented the "National Unity and Progress Promotion Act" to link "national unity" with "ethnic unity", unilaterally giving the Taiwanese people the legal obligation to bear "reunification"; and through meetings with leaders of authoritarian countries, it consolidated "One China in the World".

Qiu Chuizheng mentioned that in the face of the Chinese Communist Party's increased pressure on Taiwan and efforts to promote reunification, the government continues to implement the "Four Pillars of Peace Action Plan", "17 Response Strategies for National Security United Front Threats" and the "National Security Action Plan to Protect Democratic Taiwan" to strengthen self-defense and democratic resilience, safeguard national sovereignty and security, and maintain the status quo across the Taiwan Strait.

Qiu Chuizheng said that the CCP implemented the "Regulations on Exit and Entry Management of the State Council" in September. The definitions of the regulations are vague and highly uncertain. They have significantly expanded the CCP's information control and administrative discretion over entry and exit personnel. Mainland and Taiwanese businessmen, cadres of Taiwanese companies, and employees in the technology and semiconductor industries are high-risk groups that are vulnerable to the CCP's arbitrary restrictions on personal freedoms. The Association will pay close attention to subsequent developments and provide necessary warnings for the reference of the Chinese people.

Regarding China's situation, Qiu Chuizheng said that China's economy grew by 4.6% in the first three quarters of this year, mainly supported by exports and high-tech industries. Domestic demand, such as consumption, investment and the housing market, continues to be weak. The economy still presents a structural imbalance problem of "strong supply and weak demand, hot external conditions and cold internal conditions".

According to the analysis of the Mainland Affairs Council, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held at the end of October will still focus on maintaining economic stability. The Mainland Affairs Council will pay attention to the political and economic policy signals released by the Central Economic Work Conference in December, and continue to understand the impact of China's economic and trade policies on the investment and operation of Taiwanese companies. It will provide timely consulting services, strengthen publicity to Taiwanese companies to pay attention to the risks of operating in China, assist diversified layout, and enhance industrial competitiveness.

Qiu Chuizheng emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party is engaged in transnational suppression of Taiwan and the international community, trying to silence people through threats and creating a chilling effect. In addition to infringing on individual rights, it also threatens national security. Transnational repression does not just threaten one person, but actually affects a group of people, or even everyone.

Qiu Chuizheng mentioned that the government has clearly expressed its firm opposition to the Chinese Communist Party’s transnational suppression and that the Chinese Communist Party has no jurisdiction over Taiwan. Under the cross-agency communication platform established by the Executive Yuan, various ministries will discuss a number of specific measures. The Association will also produce a safety guidebook for public reference. It will continue to cooperate with allies to counter the CCP’s actions across borders and jointly safeguard the rights and interests of the Chinese people.
