[Reporter Lu Yixuan/Taipei Report] "Fucha" Li Yanhe, editor-in-chief of Taiwan's Eight Banners Culture Publishing House, lost contact after visiting relatives in China in March this year.

The National Security Bureau stated today that Li Yanhe was interviewed by the CCP’s National Security two days after entering China, and was subsequently arrested.

A number of legislators expressed concern in the Legislative Yuan today that China's deployment of overseas police officers "extends its hands overseas". Taiwan may also use peripheral groups to monitor or threaten or lure Chinese in Taiwan, or even Taiwanese with careers in China. This is harming national security. The government should deal with it squarely.

The National Security Bureau stated that it does exist in Taiwan, but the situation is different from that in Europe and the United States. The intelligence agencies pay close attention to it, and if there is evidence of violations, they will be transferred to the prosecution.

The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan invited Cai Mingyan, director of the National Security Bureau, and Xu Jiaqing, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, to report on "The Impact of the CCP's Compound Threat on China's National Security" and prepare for inquiries.

DPP legislators Luo Zhizheng, Liu Shifang, Wang Dingyu and Cai Shiyi were all concerned about China's overseas police issues and China's use of Taiwan's open society to monitor Chinese people in Taiwan.

Luo Zhizheng said that Chinese people in Taiwan should enjoy the protection of personal safety and freedom.

China has set up "overseas police stations" in at least 53 countries around the world. China may not dare to openly set up police service stations in Taiwan, but it may use peripheral groups to monitor or persuade Chinese people in Taiwan or those who have business in China Taiwanese, warn them not to talk indiscriminately in Taiwan, not to support the DPP, otherwise what will happen to your family in China.

Liu Shifang is also concerned that many Chinese nationals in Taiwan, regardless of gender, may be subject to surveillance or coercion. Will the other side use the name of business travel to stay in Taiwan, but in fact carry out these surveillance work?

Cai Mingyan responded that it does exist, and the role of the National Security Bureau can only pay close attention to see if there is any evidence of violations.

The 912 special working group of the Chinese public security unit is to establish a monitoring mechanism for overseas Chinese, grasp information and carry out coercion.

The relevant operations in Taiwan may be different from the way of setting up physical workstations or travel agencies in other countries such as Europe and the United States.

Luo Zhizheng reminded that China's overseas monitoring is something that the National Security Bureau has to deal with. Threats, intimidation, inducements, and mobilization are all possible.

Since the National Security Bureau said it was dealing with it, "let's handle a few cases."

Liu Shifang also mentioned the case of Fu Cha (Li Yanhe), the editor-in-chief of Eight Banners Publishing House, who went to China and lost contact.

Liu Shifang said that this is the Chinese government's involvement in Taiwan's publishing industry. The reason why he returned to China was not to give up his household registration, but was he lured by threats?

Cai Mingyan said that he initially learned that Mr. Li Yanhe arrived on the other side on March 19, and was interviewed by the CCP’s national security personnel in the Shanghai area on March 21. He lost contact with him on the grounds that he violated the national security law.

Liu Shifang emphasized that the Chinese government uses Taiwan's open speech space, because Fucha said something that the Chinese government didn't like in Taiwan, and published some books that China didn't like, so he should be charged with China's national security crimes?

This is a very serious problem. He indirectly threatens Chinese overseas, including in Taiwan. As long as he criticizes China internally, he will call them back with various methods such as coercion, family relationship, cessation of subsidies, social monitoring, etc., and then have the opportunity just catch.

During Wang Dingyu’s questioning, he recalled that in the past, China’s Ministry of State Security monitored dissidents overseas, and the Ministry of Public Security did not care about them. There was still a little room for Chinese people in the world, but after Xi Jinping decided to let the Ministry of Public Security extend its hand overseas, he went out of his way to persuade and threaten them. , Take the wind direction, which constitutes a violation of the sovereignty of various countries, which can be said to be an act of quasi-espionage.

In addition, China also has the "Fox Hunting 2014 Special Action", which is basically the Chinese version of kidnapping for ransom. It finds so-called corrupt criminals and asks him to take out the money. Later, it expanded to dissidents, scientists, etc., so it appeared Unknown jumping from a building, death case, these are all the same thing.

Wang Dingyu said that countries around the world have paid attention to this matter and have begun to take countermeasures, including investigation, expulsion, prosecution, and arrest. What about Taiwan?

Cai Mingyan said that he is still paying attention.

The National Security Bureau itself is the intelligence agency of the country, acting as a platform for information sharing. The Bureau of Investigation and the Police Department are judicial inspection agencies and internal investigations of the national army. We use this mechanism to exchange information and exchange information about the possible infiltration of the CCP. , and allow agencies with law enforcement capabilities to conduct investigations.

Wang Dingyu cited many examples, including He Jianhua, the chairman of the "China Women's Federation" and a candidate for the non-regional legislator of the China Unification Promotion Party, who received payment from China to register Chinese spouses in Taiwan, and then monitored them and spread false information at the same time; Taiwan opened a restaurant to support the anti-extradition movement, but suspected gang members splashed dirt; former Hong Kong All Wills Secretary-General Joshua Wong was followed when he came to Taiwan, and Hong Kong singer Denise Ho came to Taiwan for a parade and was splashed with paint.

Wang Dingyu emphasized that these are already specific cases. We should not only study the threat of force outside China, but these things inside China are the most dangerous. This is why the United States has made a big move to arrest and prosecute.

With so many cases in Taiwan, how to handle them and how to understand the organization behind them are all things that harm national security. They should be dealt with as soon as possible. If there are deficiencies in the law, let's amend the law together.
