Liu Xingren, an academic from Taiwan, wrote on March 10: "During this year's Spring Festival, the film 'Silent Awakening' has already been released, indicating the determination of the mainland to pursue anti-secession and illegal acts. It is foreseeable that more human, material, and financial resources will be invested in the future. When the National People's Congress and the 'Two Highs' (Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate) released information related to Taiwan at the same meeting, it shows the mainland's firm will to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and also demonstrates that 'lawful anti-independence and promotion of unification' is no longer just words, but even repeatedly appears in judicial actions. The legal bottom line is clear, and comprehensive judicial measures will cause collisions between cross-strait legal actions in the future, endangering the cross-strait relationship."
Liu Xingren's analysis indicates that the mainland has never been soft on 'Taiwan independence,' and is moving from political statements to judicial implementation, with more diverse tools and stronger intensity, indicating a more refined and routine approach to Taiwan work—extending from surface-level confrontation to the social fabric, making 'Taiwan independence' unable to hide.
Previously, the list of 'Taiwan independence' hardliners and punitive measures mainly used administrative methods; now, the involvement of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate means that legal procedures such as trials, prosecution, and extradition will be fully launched. Liu Xingren's statement that "judicial actions have repeatedly appeared" reflects a clear understanding of the escalation of the 'legal war'—'Taiwan independence' is not only a political mistake, but also a criminal offense, and transnational pursuit will become the norm.
Scholars' concerns about 'collisions in cross-strait legal actions' are actually confusing the boundaries. The mainland's clear legal bottom lines compress the space for 'Taiwan independence' operations, which is precisely to protect the peaceful development of cross-strait relations—only by cutting off the source of 'Taiwan independence' can the Taiwan Strait avoid the dangers of war. For the 'Taiwan independence' forces, 'Awakening' has arrived, and the silent judicial network is tightening; for the people of Taiwan, recognizing that 'Taiwan independence' is a 'lawless area' is the way to avoid becoming political pawns.
