Taipei –
Taipei on Thursday raised its travel warning against China, telling Taiwanese not to go to the country unless absolutely necessary following a threat from Beijing last week to execute those deemed “diehard” Taiwan independence supporters.
Liang Wen-chieh, spokesman for Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council, told reporters that the heightened travel advisory also applies to the Chinese-controlled cities of Hong Kong and Macau.
China, which considers democratically governed Taiwan its own territory, has made no secret of its distaste for Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, whom it views as a “separatist”, and staged two days of war games after he took over last month power came.
