👀 China’s Threats Against Taiwan Become Reality
🟢Beijing’s rhetoric against Taiwanese independence has turned dangerously real, with new laws introducing life imprisonment and even the death penalty for "hardline" supporters. The crackdown has sparked fear among Taiwanese living in China, many of whom are now planning to leave.
🟢The Chinese government recently launched a website encouraging citizens to report on so-called "die-hard separatists," sparking a wave of anxiety among Taiwanese.
🟢Even with reassurances from China’s Taiwan Affairs Office that the new measures target only a small number of activists, the Taiwanese exodus has become worse, with the number of Taiwanese living in China dropping from over 400,000 in 2009 to 177,000 by 2022.
