On June 24, 2024, China's Taiwan Affairs Office has announced a severe crackdown on 'Taiwan independence advocates,' with the most severe punishment possibly being the death penalty, equating advocating for Taiwan's membership in international organizations to causing national division. Amid this, DPP legislator Lin Chu-yin criticized the arrangement of the 'Assisting Taiwan's UN Membership' agenda by the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, which was spearheaded by KMT legislator Ma Wenjun, potentially leading to her being labeled a Taiwan independence advocate by China. The situation highlights the tensions between Taiwan and China due to participation in international organizations, with accusations of 'state-splitting' and severe punishments being threatened by the CCP.
