In order to counter China's transnational suppression of Taiwan, the government plans to amend the "Anti-Infiltration Law" to add new responsibilities and increase penalties. China's Taiwan Affairs Office said yesterday that the so-called "transnational suppression" is a lie fabricated by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities. In this regard, Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Liang Wenjie refuted today that whether the CCP is involved in transnational suppression cannot be denied by the Taiwan Affairs Office in a few words. The evidence obtained by judicial investigation is the most important basis. It must be solemnly pointed out that the statement made by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council cannot stand the test of facts.
Spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council Zhang Han claimed on the 11th that the so-called "transnational suppression" was a lie fabricated by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities to promote Taiwan independence and separatism and sell the two-nation theory, once again exposing its sinister intentions. Deliberately carrying out this operation at this time is nothing more than a clumsy trick by the DPP authorities to further promote "green terror", amplify the chilling effect, incite cross-strait confrontation, and deceive the people.
Liang Wenjie said at the Mainland Affairs Council press conference that taking the violent attack on Akio Yaita, the CEO of the Indo-Pacific Strategic Think Tank, as an example, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council described the case as an ordinary security incident and even claimed that the suspect might have been motivated by "righteous indignation."
Liang Wenjie pointed out that the Taiwan police investigation was very clear and this case had several characteristics. First, some overseas people were dissatisfied with Yaba Akio’s speech on cross-strait issues, and funded and commissioned others to form a transnational violence group. Second, it has the characteristics of organized crime with division of labor. There are Hong Kong gang members who are responsible for the division of labor, some who actually carry out the attacks, and others who look after the situation, etc. The third is to conduct survey and deployment beforehand. Fourth, a violent attack did occur.
Liang Wenjie further said that after being charged by the prosecutor, the suspect Liao Gangfa confessed to the crime during the court session and pleaded guilty to all charges.
Liang Wenjie gave an example, looking at the fake car accident case of cross talk actor Huang Yihao. The characteristics include overseas investment and planning, domestic division of labor planning, deliberately creating fake car accidents, and post-event reporting. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also claimed that this was a "malicious smear", but what we should look at is the evidence in the hands of the District Attorney's Office.
Liang Wenjie pointed out that these two incidents were not out of "righteous indignation". They were completely different from ordinary security incidents and were definitely not fabricated out of thin air. The surveillance case of DPP legislator Shen Boyang also has the same characteristics.
Liang Wenjie said that the government protects the freedom of speech of all people. Everyone with different political stances believes that they have the right to express their opinions freely, and they should not be subject to surveillance, intimidation, or even violence just because they criticize the CCP. This is a problem that needs to be guarded against, and it is also the biggest test of Taiwan’s democratic and free system.
