in #news8 days ago

"China on Friday rolled out new punishments, including capital punishment, for what it considers to be "'Taiwan independence' diehards."

China's top court, public security ministries, justice ministry, and state prosecution body jointly issued an opinion listing broadly worded offenses."

"Penalties include prison terms ranging from three years to life and, in "especially serious" cases, the death penalty, depending on the perceived severity of the offense.

Beijing claims Taiwan as its territory, though it has never governed there. Taiwan has its own government and legal system and is thus not subject to China's laws."
