Why It Matters
Pro-communist Hong Kong media recently accused Shen Boyang's father of doing business in China, and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council subsequently announced sanctions against VWAY.
The Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang has entered the election campaign, setting off an "ocean current" wave, and the polls are close to the current mayor Chiang Wanan. China's Taiwan Affairs Office today sanctioned the "VWAY" company owned by Shen Boyang's father, prohibiting transactions with Chinese companies, and scolded Shen Boyang for advocating "anti-China" and hindering cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, while working with his relatives to find ways to make money from China. His ugly behavior is disgusting. Scholars analyze that China’s cross-border repression is used as a tool for selection, and companies that comprehensively purge family members are not allowed to operate, which is basically slandering the nine ethnic groups.
The pro-communist Hong Kong media Wen Wei Po and Ta Kung Pao reported yesterday that the Trillion Company owned by Shen Boyang's father Shen Tucheng, after being punished by China in June last year, continued to "make money" in China under the name of another "VWAY" company, with a trade volume of nearly US$700,000 in just over half a year. The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China announced today that it will impose penalties on the "VWAY" company and prohibit any transactions and cooperation with Chinese organizations, enterprises and individuals, and other necessary measures.
In this regard, Wang Zhisheng, an assistant professor at the Department of Border Police Science at the Central Police University, said in an interview today that Beijing has seen the expansion of the "ocean current" and many people in the light blue or blue camp are willing to interact with Shen Boyang. The CCP's current method of sanctioning Shen's father's company is actually to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys." For example, Zhao Shaokang and other blue camp people invited Shen Boyang to appear on the show, or Qian Lan did not object to interacting with Shen. The CCP wanted to put pressure on them through this method, telling the blue camp not to interact with people who hold different views from Beijing.
Wang Zhisheng analyzed that China’s cross-border suppression methods have been used as a tool to mediate elections during the election. Shen Boyang's father has been in business for many years, and the new company has been established for half a year. The CCP chose this time to deliberately "beat gongs and drums" to take action. The performance is to punish independence. In fact, through this method of punishing independence, it is actually a deterrent to carry out cross-border suppression on many people who are inextricably connected with China, so that they dare not come out to support Shen Boyang.
Wang Zhisheng mentioned that the spillover effect of this introduction will not only be on Shen Boyang, but also on candidates such as Su Qiaohui, who has a strong reputation. Those who make political donations to DPP candidates may be punished by Beijing. It is obvious that the CCP used Shen Boyang's father as a fulcrum to exert the deterrence of cross-border repression in an attempt to create a chilling effect.
"This is slandering the Nine Tribes!" Wang Zhisheng criticized that China is not a normal democratic country governed by the rule of law. Because of political incorrectness, it completely purges family members' businesses and prevents them from operating. This is simply an act of slandering the Nine Tribes, and it is also unbelievable. When a person is accused of breaking the law, even the companies of his father, uncle, and relatives will be shut down. Only in a country with an authoritarian system like China can this kind of implicating the nine ethnic groups appear.
He warned that China operates under authoritarian control. With Taiwan’s election in the countdown stage and less than two months left, China may be driven into panic and decide to use cross-border suppression to create a chilling effect. Today’s measures may be just the beginning.
