After President Lai Ching-te's one-month inauguration, China issued the 'Punishment for Taiwan Independence 22 Provisions,' raising tensions between the two sides. Jiang Wan'an stated that this move by China provides no assistance to cross-strait exchanges and the peaceful development between the two regions. Amidst fears of rising hostility towards Taiwan from the mainland, the new rules introduced the possibility of the death penalty for individuals supporting Taiwanese independence, sparking discussions on the deteriorating cross-strait relations.
