BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — The Chinese mainland welcomes the active provision of information by compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait regarding the illegal activities of 18 key members of Taiwan's "psychological warfare unit," Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday.
She made the statement while commenting, at the media's request, on a recent notice from the Xiamen City Public Security Bureau (Fujian Province, eastern China) offering a reward for evidence proving the illegal activities of the aforementioned group.
"We hope that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will actively provide relevant evidence, resolutely oppose any form of separatist actions aimed at achieving 'Taiwan independence,' and firmly adhere to safeguarding national reunification," Zhu Fenglian told reporters.
According to her, the decision of the Xiamen Municipal Public Security Bureau is a concrete measure to implement the recommendations for criminal punishment of individuals who stubbornly advocate "Taiwan independence," divide the country, or incite its split, and a just step to protect the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.
Taiwan is part of China's territory, Zhu Fenglian noted, adding that anyone who threatens the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests will certainly be punished in accordance with state laws.
Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration is manipulating the "psychological warfare unit" to smear and attack the mainland, spread false ideas about "Taiwan independence," and incite secession, Zhu Fenglian said, stressing that "the facts are clear and the evidence is undeniable."
Recently, mainland Chinese media accused five Taiwanese companies of supporting Taiwan's "psychological warfare unit," prompting the DPP administration to claim that "the mainland is trying to intimidate Taiwanese companies."
In response, Zhu Fenglian said that legally curbing such illegal activities in mainland China is a fair and necessary step to ensure national security and protect the legitimate rights and interests of people and enterprises. -0-
