The State Security Bureau of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province said on the 3rd that it has carried out criminal detention and review of the criminal suspect Yang Zhiyuan, who has been engaged in “Taiwan independence” separatist activities for a long time and is suspected of endangering national security. Current affairs commentator Lv Ningsi believes that Yang Zhiyuan’s self-introduction is just the beginning, and the country will continue to strike hard against “Taiwan independence” diehards.
According to mainland media reports, Yang Zhiyuan has long advocated the idea of ”Taiwan independence” and co-founded the “Taiwan Independence” illegal organization “Taiwan National Party”. He pursued the “urgent independence” line, planned and implemented “Taiwan independence” separatist activities, and was suspected of secession crimes and inciting separatist crimes.
First, don’t think that the long-term goodwill from the mainland to Taiwanese islanders from economic to free exchanges is unconditional. This condition is not to split the country, not to pursue “Taiwan independence”;
Second, don’t think that the Anti-Secession Law and the National Security Law enacted by the mainland are “toothless tigers”. China’s relevant laws are all serious and severe. Lü Ningsi described it in the words of Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, that the national security agencies have taken measures against “Taiwan independence” elements suspected of crimes endangering national security in accordance with the law.
Third, since we are playing politics, we should understand the international situation and general environment. Lü Ningsi said frankly that playing politics can engage in speculation, but he must know how to observe the political situation. In addition to wanting to pursue “Taiwan independence”, he also wants to enjoy the convenience of life and business opportunities in the mainland. He joked that this kind of person who has thrown himself into the net and hit the gun is obviously not a good chess player.

Tian Feilong, an associate professor at the School of Law of Beihang University, believes that the country has a legal framework such as the Constitution and the Anti-Secession Law, and has sufficient legal basis. He believes that the Yang Zhiyuan case is not a single incident or special case, but at this point in time. Being placed in a conspicuous position reflects that the law enforcement space may become stricter, and it is believed that it is a targeted response made by Pelosi after she came to power. He also believes that in the future, the law enforcement will be differentiated between Taiwanese companies that support reunification and “Taiwan independence” Taiwanese companies.

The 32-year-old Yang Zhiyuan has been active in social movements and political protests in Taiwan for many years, including the “Choke the Horse” parade and the “Wild Strawberry Student Movement”.
Another youth from the Kuomintang, Ouyang, mentioned that Yang Zhiyuan founded the “National Front” in 2018 and actively communicated with the blue camp and the unified youth on the Internet. According to his friend, Yang Zhiyuan has been busy playing Go recently, saying that he will go to the mainland to participate in Go competitions, as well as doing business activities.
Yang Zhiyuan can be described as a typical Taiwanese islander who eats both sides and is keen on politics. This is also the first time that the mainland has arrested a Taiwanese politician who supports “Taiwan Independence” on the grounds of endangering national security.
