10 die-hard Taiwan separatists facing lawful punishment
China DailyThe website of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council now includes new sections on the lawful punishment of die-hard "Taiwan independence" separatists. The sections also provide a tip-off mailbox, [email protected], for the gathering of information on the listed separatists' criminal activities and clues on any new die-hard "Taiwan independence" separatists suspected of serious offenses. The websites also present the legal foundation for such actions, particularly the Anti-Secession Law and the guidelines for imposing criminal penalties on die-hard "Taiwan independence" separatists for engaging in or inciting secession. In August 2022, the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee issued a statement announcing the inclusion of Hsiao, Koo, Tsai, Ker, Lin, Chen and Wang on a list of die-hard "Taiwan independence" separatists and the imposition of punitive measures against them.
