Hundreds report Taiwan separatists in one day

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said it received 323 email reports about alleged malicious acts by Taiwan separatist forces as of 5 pm on Wednesday, after launching an online section to collect information on separatist activities the same day.

The office said the Democratic Progressive Party authorities of the island have intensified their suppression of political opponents, parties, groups, and individuals who support peaceful and integrated cross-Strait relations.

The office provided an email address, jubao@suremail.cn, at 8 am on Wednesday for victims or those with relevant information to report acts of suppression and persecution.

Spokesman Chen Binhua said those reported include Taiwan's senior interior affairs official Liu Shih-fang, DPP legislators Shen Po-yang, Wu Si-yao, and Huang Jie, as well as several Taipei prosecutors.

Also named was Tsao Hsing-cheng, a financial backer of the "Black Bear Academy," which the office accused of promoting war among teenagers, and social media influencers such as Chen Po-yuan, who has been accused of spreading separatist rhetoric online, Chen said.

The reports accuse them of fabricating charges to suppress opposition parties, threatening to dissolve patriotic groups, detaining individuals who support peaceful cross-Strait relations, violating the rights of mainland spouses, and advocating for the "hunting" of mainland spouses, he said.

"We will carefully review the reported cases, adhering to the principles of factual investigation and legal compliance," Chen said, emphasizing that those engaged in separatist activities would be held accountable under the law.
