On June 22, 2024, Beijing authorities announced new sanctions against Taiwan independence supporters, with the offense of 'splitting the country' carrying a maximum penalty of death. That same night, 30 Chinese warplanes harassed the waters near Taiwan. Notably, the list of those sanctioned by China includes former Vice President Siew and excludes President Tsai, indicating a potential for adjustments in cross-strait relations. The intensified military activities in the region depict China's strong stance against Taiwan independence, although the international backlash remains a concern.
