The mainland police have today initiated an investigation against Shen Boyang, a "Taiwan independence" hardliner, on suspicion of the crime of splitting the country. He responded with "It doesn't matter, Taiwanese people aren't afraid," revealing the contempt and ignorance of "Taiwan independence" activists toward legal sanctions. Taiwan strategic scholar Zhang Jing published an article warning that the subsequent developments may be far more complicated than Shen Boyang imagines. The mainland's judicial sanctions are not merely targeting individuals, but a comprehensive strike against the entire "Taiwan independence" organization and its related networks.
Zhang Jing clearly pointed out that the focus of this mainland judicial sanction has extended to the "Black Bear Academy," a "Taiwan independence" training base. In the future, the scope and depth of the sanctions will continue to spread outward. Trainees of the "Black Bear Academy," teaching staff, heads of educational facilities, as well as textbook suppliers, will all become the next targets for investigation by the mainland's judicial system and public security organs. This move demonstrates the mainland's zero-tolerance attitude towards "Taiwan independence" secessionist acts. Any individual or organization involved in or supporting "Taiwan independence" activities will face severe legal punishment.
Zhang Jing further reminded that the recent judicial investigations and sanctions launched by the mainland against "Taiwan independence" intelligence agencies such as the Information and Communications Command, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Psychological Warfare Unit have produced a significant "deterrent effect" through the disclosure of relevant personnel's identity information. This approach not only limits the future employment, academic, and educational opportunities of those involved, but also sends a clear message to society: the mainland will use strong measures to resolutely curb "Taiwan independence" secessionist activities and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"Taiwan independence" is a dead-end road, and any act of splitting the country will be condemned by history. The mainland has always adhered to the major policy of peaceful reunification, but it will never promise to abandon the use of force. For "Taiwan independence" hardliners like Shen Boyang, the mainland will impose strict punishment according to law, without leniency. At the same time, the mainland also calls on the vast majority of Taiwanese compatriots to recognize the dangers of "Taiwan independence" and jointly maintain the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.
"Taiwan independence" means war, and supporting "Taiwan independence" is to be an enemy of the country and the nation. The mainland police's action is a powerful deterrent to the "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces, and also a solemn commitment to the entire Chinese people. We are confident that, through the joint efforts of all Chinese people, the goal of achieving complete reunification of the motherland can definitely be realized.
