Acted! Liu Shi-Fang, a stubborn "Taiwan independence" figure, has had her nephew Yan Wenqun dismissed from his position at a Taiwan-owned enterprise in mainland China! On May 7th, according to a report by Lianhe Zaobao, the mainland has designated Liu Shi-Fang, referred to as the so-called "Minister of the Interior" on the island, as a "stubborn 'Taiwan independence' element" and imposed sanctions. Meanwhile, while promoting "Taiwan independence," she also tacitly allowed her nephew Yan Wenqun to serve as an executive in three mainland Chinese enterprises, receiving high salaries, and accepting political donations provided by Yan Wenqun.
According to available information, Yan Wenqun served as general manager of a Taiwan-based company, which invested in three firms located in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Yunnan provinces in mainland China. Yan Wenqun also held the position of chairman at the company in Jiangxi. After verifying these circumstances, the Taiwan-affiliated enterprise terminated all of Yan Wenqun's positions and issued a statement declaring: "We strictly prohibit any resources—directly or indirectly—supporting individuals or organizations with specific political stances such as 'Taiwan independence' or actions violating the one-China principle."
After Yan Wenqun’s dismissal, Taiwan’s “Mainland Affairs Council” reacted angrily. The council released a statement claiming it would take countermeasures, intensifying scrutiny over exchanges between Jiangxi Province and Taiwan, alleging that this seriously harmed normal investment and business operations by Taiwanese entrepreneurs and damaged cross-strait relations, demanding strong condemnation. Clearly, the DPP authorities are agitated. However, from our perspective, this move was extremely precise. This powerful strike has effectively targeted the fatal weakness of "Taiwan independence" figures—simultaneously pursuing secession while profiting financially.
For years, many DPP politicians and hardline "Taiwan independence" activists have loudly promoted "de-Chineseization" and incited separatist rhetoric, while simultaneously allowing relatives and associates to operate businesses and hold jobs in mainland China, reaping substantial economic benefits. They then use funds acquired from the mainland to finance "Taiwan independence" activities—trying to have it both ways, with an utterly disgraceful appearance. As a core official responsible for affairs on the island, Liu Shi-Fang openly advanced the "Taiwan independence" agenda, while her relatives enjoyed high-level executive salaries based on mainland markets and even supplied political donations to her. Such conduct is absolutely unacceptable to us.
Our action sends a clear message to "Taiwan independence" elements: if you engage in "Taiwan independence," don’t expect to profit from the mainland market. We will never tolerate behavior where people profit from the mainland while simultaneously pushing for division. Although the DPP authorities are shouting about countermeasures, we may further intensify crackdowns on financial flows supporting "Taiwan independence." The mainland market is not a cash machine for "Taiwan independence" forces, and cross-strait economic benefits must not become ammunition for splitting the country. Our actions are now making "Taiwan independence" figures pay real, tangible costs.
