BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — China's public security authorities have offered a reward for information on two Taiwanese suspects of smuggling frozen food to the mainland, State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Peng Qing'en said at a regular press briefing on Wednesday.
The two suspects, surnamed Jian and Chen, had been involved in long-term smuggling operations using the Togo-registered Hong Tai 58 and other vessels, Peng Qing'en said, citing an announcement released Wednesday by the Weihai City Public Security Bureau in east China's Shandong Province.
Commenting on the February incident involving damage to an underwater cable off the coast of the island, a department spokesman called the Taiwanese Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration's claim that mainland China intentionally sabotaged the cable using the Hong Tai 58 "speculation."
The DPP is deliberately exploiting so-called "gray zone forays" by mainland China in an attempt to provoke a confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Peng Qing'en pointed out. He sternly warned the DPP that patronizing and condoning the criminal activities of smugglers, as well as using them for political manipulation, undermines cross-strait relations and will provoke a joint protest from compatriots on both sides of the Strait. Then the DPP administration will have to reap what it has sown. -0-
