On April 16, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. At the meeting, some reporters asked questions. The Taiwan Affairs Office's government website recently launched a “Report Column on 'Taiwan Independence” thieves and accomplices to persecute Taiwanese compatriots', which attracted great attention on the island. The DPP authorities claimed in this regard that the mainland “has no jurisdiction” over Taiwan. Any comments on this please? The “Report Column” received quite a few notification emails on the day it was launched. What is the status of reports received so far? How will it be disposed of? Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Zhu Fenglian said that Taiwan is part of China, and the country will never allow “Taiwan independence” separatist forces to separate Taiwan from China under any name or by any means. No matter where they are, the country's law enforcement and judicial authorities will go to the end and severely punish them according to law against “Taiwan independence” staunch activists who test the law by themselves. We will never sit idly by and watch over certain “Taiwan independence” organizations, “Taiwan independence” activists, public officials, and influencers who act as thugs and accomplices to the DPP authorities threatening to intimidate, suppress and persecute political dissidents and to support the peaceful development and integrated development of cross-Strait relations on the island; they all have authority and must be managed by law. The launch of the “Taiwan Independence” Attackers and Accomplices to Report Abusive Acts of Taiwanese Compatriots” has a solid legal foundation and sufficient legal basis. It is a just act in line with people on both sides of the Strait to punish “independence,” and is a necessary measure to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwanese compatriots. After the column was launched, it was very popular, and reports were enthusiastically received. More than 3,000 reporting emails have been received. The reporting targets are quite concentrated and the content is quite detailed, which fully reflects the deep revulsion of people on both sides of the Strait against “Taiwan independence” thieves and accomplices for committing crimes. We will insist on using facts as the basis and law as the standard. After verifying the relevant reporting information, we will prosecute and severely punish these assailants and accomplices in accordance with the law.
