Taiwan Fears China Cracking Down Overseas
Taiwan is considering warning citizens about risks of traveling to countries with strong ties to China, such as Laos and Cambodia, as they could be caught up in Beijing's campaign against Taiwan independence supporters, according to a senior Taiwan official and an internal memo.
China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own despite the island's rejection, issued guidelines last year to punish "diehard" Taiwan independence activists, including with the death penalty, even though Chinese courts have no jurisdiction on the island.
