BEIJING – The Chinese authorities on Friday announced punishments against two organizations and an individual for advocating "Taiwan independence".

China has also decided to take countermeasures against the Hudson Institute, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the relevant people in charge of these organizations.

The spokesperson of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee was authorized on Friday to announce sanctions against diehard "Taiwan independence" separatist Hsiao Bi-khim, who is now the representative of the island's secession-desiring Democratic Progressive Party authorities in the United States.

The sanctions ban her and her family from entering the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.

It also bans Hsiao's sponsors and affiliated enterprises from cooperating with mainland organizations and individuals.

Depending on foreign influence and seeking independence by relying on the US, she deliberately provoked confrontations between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits and wantonly undermined peace and stability across the Straits, further exposing her stubborn nature of seeking "independence", said the spokesperson.

The mainland could take all other necessary punitive measures to hold her accountable in accordance with the law, said the spokesperson.

History has proven and will continue to prove that "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and the die-hard "Taiwan independence" separatists who rely on the willful provocation of external forces will surely fail, said the spokesperson.

"No one and no force should underestimate our strong resolve, firm will and strong ability to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity," added the spokesperson.

Ban on 2 Taiwan organizations

The Chinese mainland has decided to take punitive measures against Taiwan's Prospect Foundation and the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats, said Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, on Friday.

The mainland has banned the leaders of the two organizations from entering the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao SARs, and prohibited relevant mainland organizations and individuals from cooperating with them, she said.

Zhu said that under the instigation of the Democratic Progressive Party, these two organizations used the pretext of democracy, freedom, and cooperation, and under the disguise of "academic exchanges" and "seminars," have been peddling the idea of "Taiwan independence" in the international arena.

They are trying their best to approach, attract and support anti-China forces, creating incidents that violate the one-China principle, and expanding Taiwan's so-called "international space", she added.
