Chinese issues arrest warrants for alleged Taiwanese hackers
The Chinese government issued arrest warrants for 20 Taiwanese citizens on Thursday that it alleges carried out hacking operations on the Chinese mainland on behalf of the island's ruling party. They also banned a Taiwanese company whose owners they described as "hardcore Taiwan independence supporters." Chinese police in Guangzhou, a manufacturing hub in the south of the country, said the hacking group was led by a man named Ning Enwei. They alleged it acted under the direction of Taiwan's independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Authorities did not give any details about the alleged cyber activities or specify the charges against the individuals. Meanwhile, China's government said all commercial contact had been stopped with the Sicuenes International Company Ltd., which it alleges is led by a member of the Taiwanese national legislature, Puma Shen, and his businessmen father. Beijing calls both men die-hard independence supporters. Websites mentioning the company say it specialises in sourcing bicycle parts from China. Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Chinese government, said Sicuens "engages in trade and business cooperation with certain mainland enterprises in pursuit of economic benefits." "The mainland side will never allow enterprises related to die-hard 'Taiwan independence' supporters to seek profits in the mainland." The DPP has dismissed China's accusations. "This is clearly a case of the Chinese Communist Party fabricating a pretext to stir up trouble. When it comes to inflation, cyberattacks, cognitive warfare and grey-zone threats, the CCP is by far the most serious perpetrator," said the DPP's acting director of International Affairs, Michael Chen. "What we are seeing now is a textbook example of the bully crying foul." Taiwan is a self-ruling island which China sees as a breakaway province that must be united with the mainland, by force if necessary. China regularly sends military aircraft and ships around Taiwan and currently has an aircraft carrier southeast of the island. In response, Taiwan has bulked up its own military and some private individuals have opened training camps in guerrilla warfare.

China: Warrants for alleged Taiwanese hackers issued, business banned
Police in the southern manufacturing hub of Guangzhou said hackers were led by a man named Ning Enwei on behalf of Taiwan's independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party AP Taipei China issued warrants on Thursday for 20 Taiwanese people it said carried out hacking missions in the Chinese mainland on behalf of the island's ruling party, while separately banning dealings with a Taiwanese company whose owners mainland authorities called hardcore Taiwan independence supporters". Police in the southern manufacturing hub of Guangzhou said they were led by a man named Ning Enwei on behalf of Taiwan's independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party but did not identify their alleged crimes. Meanwhile, China's government said all commercial contact had been banned with the Sicuens International Company Ltd., which it says are led by businessman Puma Shen and his father, calling the two men independence supports. Websites mentioning Sicuens say it specializes in sourcing bicycle parts from China. Shen is also the head of the Kuma Academy, an organization that encourages Taiwanese people to prepare for possible invasion. China considers Taiwan its own territory, to be brought under its control by force if necessary. Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the China's Cabinet, said Sicuens engages in trade and business cooperation with certain mainland enterprises in pursuit of economic benefits. The mainland side will never allow enterprises related to die-hard Taiwan independence' supporters to seek profits in the mainland, Zhu was quoted as saying. China last year announced punishments on Shen and the Kuma Academy, saying Shen had been actively and systematically organizing activities promoting Taiwan independence. The Academy's website says it aims to prepare a prewar mentality for civilians, our mission is to cultivate self-defence capability and will to defend Taiwan. We provide knowledge and skills to help people sustain themselves and recognise enemy disinformation operations in both peace and wartime situations. Taiwan has responded by bulking up its own military, while some private individuals have opened camps for training in guerilla warfare.
