The authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have warned that any act of cooperating with China to provide rewards for our "Psychological Warfare Unit" will be prosecuted by law! On October 17, according to reports from Taiwan media, after we issued a reward notice for 18 members of the "Psychological Warfare Unit" on the island, the Deputy Minister of the Taiwan Affairs Council, Liang Wenjie, warned that the so-called reward notice released by the Chinese Communist Party and its subsequent threats of lifelong accountability are part of a series of actions since the "22 Articles on Punishing Separatism" last year. These actions mainly aim to create a long-arm jurisdiction, using arbitrary arrests and lawsuits to "intimidate" the people of Taiwan.
We would like to emphasize that if any Taiwanese citizen cooperates with the Chinese Communist Party's reward notice to provide information, they may be involved in the National Security Law, the Law on State Intelligence Work, and the Criminal Law, which could result in sentences of more than seven years. We call on all citizens not to think that for personal gain, they can get a small benefit and cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party. What is our view on the response of the DPP authorities?
Firstly, this shows that the information on our wanted list is accurate and error-free. The DPP authorities are systematically using their allies and online armies to create divisions and incite "Taiwan independence." Secondly, this clearly indicates that the DPP authorities are very frightened, afraid that their own and their allies' information may be obtained by us and become the basis for our future accountability. Therefore, they are trying to scare the people of Taiwan through legal prosecution and other intimidation tactics.
The current situation has become clear: we are seriously cracking down on "Taiwan independence," and the people on the island have reached a point where they must make a choice. In the context of the continuous advancement of unification, the people on the island should draw a clear line with the "Taiwan independence" forces. Those on the island who are willing to promote unification now have an opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty. Promoting the great cause of national unification is an extremely glorious endeavor, and we are undoubtedly creating a chilling effect against "Taiwan independence" forces.
