Chen Xinhua believes that Taiwanese compatriots should not be afraid of anti-espionage measures in force in mainland China, if they do not violate the law. After arriving in mainland China, they have nothing to fear, he stressed at a press conference on October 11.
The Chinese authorities protect the legitimate rights of compatriots from Taiwan, the official representative recalled. The "Anti-Espionage Law" has been in force in China since November 2014. In April, the Chinese Parliament adopted amendments concerning cyber attacks on state institutions. After that, according to the National Security Administration of Taiwan, Chinese special services allegedly began to interrogate Taiwanese residents arriving in mainland China more often.
