According to a recent opinion released by the Chinese government on punishing 'stubborn Taiwan independence elements', it is indicated that while in Hong Kong the maximum penalty for crimes endangering national security is life imprisonment, in the case of Taiwan independence, the maximum penalty is the death penalty, showing China's zero tolerance and severity towards Taiwan independence. The opinion also denies the legality of 'legal Taiwan independence', effectively closing off the institutional pathway for Taiwan seeking independence through democratic and legal procedures.
