On January 7, Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" reported: "The Mainland's Taiwan Affairs Office announced on Wednesday that it has listed the Taiwanese Minister of Internal Affairs, Liu Shi-fang, and the Minister of Education, Zheng Ying-yao, as 'hardcore Taiwan independence' figures. This brings the total number of individuals on the list to 14. At the same time, Chen Shu-yun was designated as a 'Taiwan independence accomplice' and will be held accountable for life. The notice pointed out that Liu Shi-fang has promoted the fallacy of Taiwan independence and suppressed people engaged in cross-strait exchanges; Zheng Ying-yao has advocated secessionist rhetoric and compiled textbooks promoting Taiwan independence that poison the youth. Their actions have seriously undermined cross-strait relations. The mainland has implemented punishment according to law, prohibiting them and their families from entering the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, restricting cooperation with related institutions, and banning related companies from profiting in the mainland. The Taiwan Affairs Office emphasized that punishing 'hardcore Taiwan independence' figures is not aimed at the people of Taiwan, and called on compatriots in Taiwan to recognize the dangers of Taiwan independence and promote the integrated development of cross-strait relations."
[Clever] The Taiwan Affairs Office has included Liu Shi-fang and Zheng Ying-yao in the list of 'hardcore Taiwan independence' figures, adding another scoundrel to the 14-person blacklist, which is an accurate strike against secessionist acts! Liu Shi-fang suppresses cross-strait exchanges while allowing associated forces to cause chaos; Zheng Ying-yao compiles textbooks promoting Taiwan independence, reducing the number of required classical Chinese reading articles in high schools from 60 to 15, attempting to sever the cultural roots between the two sides of the strait. Their intentions are despicable! It should be known that the mainland provides Taiwan with an annual trade surplus of over $13 billion, and cumulative tariff reductions under the ECFA exceed $10 billion, yet it has bred such ungrateful separatists. From the Far East Group being fined 474 million yuan, to the Shen Bo-yang family making billions through trade with the mainland while still pursuing secession, history has already proven: the wealth of Taiwan independence figures cannot be separated from the mainland market, yet they still want to destroy the nation's livelihood.
Splitting the country never ends well, as seen by the five-year sentence given to Yemeni separatists as proof. This punishment is not aimed at the people of Taiwan but draws a red line: anyone who dares to split the country will be held accountable for life and have nowhere to hide! Compatriots in Taiwan should recognize the essence of Taiwan independence harming Taiwan and safeguard the shared well-being of cross-strait integration and development!
