Mainland bans heads of two 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 Special Administrative Regions, 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.
