China recently released new measures to crack down on 'Taiwan independence' activists, with the highest punishment being the death penalty for acts such as inciting separatism and splitting the country. The Mainland Affairs Council responded by emphasizing the defense of Taiwanese people's freedom and rights against such threats and intimidation. The move has been criticized for escalating tensions and hindering positive developments in cross-strait relations, drawing regret from countries worldwide supportive of Taiwan's democracy and freedom.
