The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office announced new sanctions on Wednesday targeting individuals accused of undermining cross-strait stability, adding two names to its list of diehard 'Taiwan independence' separatists and one to its roster of alleged accomplices. Spokesperson Chen Binhua emphasized the Chinese mainland's commitment to safeguarding national sovereignty through legal measures against those 'harming the interests of the Chinese nation and its people.'
This latest move brings the total to 14 sanctioned separatists and 12 designated accomplices since the policy's implementation. The announcement reaffirms Beijing's longstanding opposition to any moves toward formal independence for the Taiwan region, while maintaining its stated preference for peaceful reunification under the One-China principle.
