Chinese mainland authorities have intensified efforts to counter online separatism, with Fujian police offering rewards for information on two Taiwan-based social media influencers accused of inciting division. The Quanzhou Public Security Bureau issued a bounty notice Thursday for Wen Tzu-yu (alias 'Pa Chiung') and Chen Po-yuan ('Minnan Wolf'), alleging their long-term promotion of 'secessionist fallacies'. 🌐
State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Chen Binhua stated: 'It is legitimate and necessary to investigate acts that endanger national sovereignty. These individuals have repeatedly spread inflammatory content attacking mainland policies designed to benefit residents of Taiwan.' 🔍
The move comes amid heightened cross-strait tensions, with Beijing urging cooperation from 'compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait' to report illegal activities. Authorities emphasize opposition to all forms of 'Taiwan independence' separatist actions. 📢
Analysts suggest this reflects growing mainland scrutiny of online spaces influencing cross-strait relations. With over 2 million combined followers, the targeted influencers' content often critiques mainland policies while advocating for Taiwan's separate international status. 💻
