The national security team discovered that China has recently used pro-China figures to attract Taiwanese people to travel to China at low prices, taking the opportunity to unite the front. National security sources pointed out that as soon as many United Front groups landed, they were taken to apply for residence permits, apply for phone numbers, and even open bank accounts. On the surface, they said that they would allow members to use the certificates to experience the “face-scanning entry” function on public transportation, or group fees. Refunds can be deposited directly into UnionPay cards or using WeChat wallets. However, when applying for a residence permit, you need to provide complete personal information to the Chinese government, including fingerprints and facial scans. Members of the United Front may be recruited by the other side, or even set up a trap. National Security People are reminded to be careful not to lose the big for the small.
Since the epidemic, China has not allowed its citizens to travel in groups to Taiwan. Based on the principle of two-way reciprocal tourism, our government has banned Chinese people from traveling to China in groups starting from June this year. However, the national security team observed that in addition to some private travel agencies still privately recruiting tour groups to travel to China, there are also specific pro-China individuals entrusted by China to recruit cheaper United Front groups to travel to China.
National security analysts pointed out that for China, the most anticipated members of the United Front include village chiefs, temple committee members, community cadres, retired military and police officers, young students, and in recent years, teachers, sports teams at all levels, and those who have not yet arrived. First people who lived in China. In order to attract and compete for tourists, many local governments in China will cooperate on itineraries, and some areas will even attract Chinese tourists with tour fares that are more than half of the market price.
National security sources said that some of these brokers who travel across the Taiwan Strait are running travel agencies themselves. During the group formation process, they promote their influence on both sides. In addition to accepting funding from the CCP, they may also provide the identity documents and other personal information of the group members to the Chinese side; Some village chiefs, temple groups, and retired military police with special status may be tried to be absorbed by the other side, or even set up a trap to ask them to cooperate with China’s united front operations, or be forced to sign political documents such as the “Acceptance of the One-China Agreement”.
National security sources said that the first thing many exchange groups do after landing recently is to apply for a residence permit, apply for a phone number, and even take them to a bank to open an account. The Chinese side will most likely explain that the purpose of applying for these documents is to allow holders of residence permits to experience the convenience of “swiping your face to enter the station” when taking public transportation, or to allow group fee refunds to be directly deposited into UnionPay cards or use WeChat wallet and other functions.
National security officials gave an example. This year, when Huangpu was celebrating its centennial anniversary, China used its collaborators in Taiwan to lure retired officers and soldiers to visit China. After landing in Xiamen, China, they applied for residence permits, seniority certificates, driver’s licenses, and bank cards in the name of “convenience in life.” , and activate a Chinese mobile phone. At the Straits Forum in June this year, Zhuang Rongliang, deputy mayor of the Xiamen Municipal Government, even confirmed the launch of a “near-convenience” service area in the hotel lobby to provide quick processing and issuance of residence permits and other documents.
National security sources emphasized that the residence permit is part of China’s united front measures against Taiwan, treating the Taiwanese people as a means of luring its citizens to promote the “integration of Taiwan” strategy, and in accordance with China’s “Measures for the Application and Issuance of Residence Permits for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Residents”, To apply for a residence permit, you must provide your name, gender, date of birth, residential address, personal photo, collect fingerprints, and scan your face. In other words, as long as you apply, you are submitting your complete personal information and biometric data to the Chinese government for management and use. , falling into higher surveillance risks; opening an account in China may become a controlled financial flow channel, reminding Chinese people to think carefully before going to China, and not to be greedy for petty gains or lose more than the gain.
