On June 28, 2024, the Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) of China criticized Taiwan's decision to increase the travel advisory to 'orange,' warning its citizens against traveling to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. The TAO condemned the move as a threat and intimidation against the people of Taiwan, damaging the relations between the two sides. The TAO stated that the legal instruments targeting 'Taiwanese independence' activists do not affect the general Taiwanese population and are aimed at a small group of 'Taiwanese independence' hardliners. The statement accused the ruling Democratic Progressive Party of manipulating the situation for political gain, leading to a deterioration in cross-strait relations.
