On June 22, 2024, China issued 22 regulations to punish Taiwan independence, including the possibility of death penalty and lifelong accountability for acts of dividing the country. Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of Global Times, believes the new regulations are operational and warns that Taiwan independence advocates visiting countries friendly with China and having extradition agreements may face arrest. Hu also criticized Taiwan's response to the regulations, stating they are merely self-comfort and bravado. The regulations have sparked concerns among Taiwanese scholars and media, suggesting that specific individuals may soon face legal actions from China. Hu Xijin further emphasized that these measures by China demonstrate its jurisdiction over Taiwan and serve as a deterrent to advocates of Taiwan independence.
