Following a recent incident where one member of a Taiwanese tour group was detained during a visit to China, reports have emerged of Taiwanese temple officials, religious practitioners, and businesspeople encountering investigations or interrogations by Chinese public security personnel. The Mainland Affairs Council has compiled a list of 'common behaviors leading to detainment' to alert the public of potential risks when traveling to China. With increased scrutiny on Taiwanese individuals entering China, including academics and retired military and police personnel facing questioning and device searches, concerns over 'personal freedom risks' extend across various industries, as even ordinary citizens have been subject to prolonged interrogations akin to criminal involvement. The council's warning comes ahead of the official implementation of China's new national security regulations related to inspecting electronic devices, indicating a heightened risk for Taiwanese nationals traveling to China.
