After the rejection of the empowerment revocation bill in the parliament, mainland China immediately issued an opinion on punishing stubborn Taiwanese independence advocates who seek to split the country. The deadline for prosecution is twenty years, and even after this period, they can still be prosecuted for the maximum penalty of death. Former military personnel going to China are at risk of being controlled and potentially charged with crimes, as China aims to use their connections to develop organizations in Taiwan. It is emphasized that creating a strong sense of Taiwanese independence among soldiers is crucial to safeguard the sovereignty of Taiwan and foster a Taiwan-centric military education reform.
