China to intensify crackdown on independence backers

1 year ago

Beijing’s cross-border crackdown on Taiwanese independence supporters is expected to escalate, extending beyond China and its territories to “China-friendy” countries and those with Chinese police stations, national security officials said yesterday.

Following the conclusion of China’s annual parliamentary meetings last month, China’s cross-border repression is expected to expand, the officials said.

Beijing’s annual work conference on Taiwan affairs was held on Feb. 25 and 26, followed by the “two sessions” — the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference — from March 5 to 11, they said.
