<b>AFP \/ Sam Yeh<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n<p><i>Beijing (AFP), Nov 5 &#8211; <\/i>China vowed Friday to punish &#8220;diehard&#8221; Taiwan politicians, saying it would ban several from visiting the mainland, as tensions between Beijing and Taipei spiked to their highest level in years.<\/p>\n<p>China claims Taiwan as its territory &#8212; to be seized one day, by force if necessary &#8212; and has intensified efforts in recent years to isolate the self-ruled island on the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Taiwan Affairs Office in Beijing warned that &#8220;the mainland will pursue criminal responsibility for Taiwan independence diehards in accordance with the law, to be effective for life&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The statement by spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian named Taiwanese Premier Su Tseng-chang, parliament speaker Yu Shyi-kun and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu as among a minority of independence supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Zhu said the politicians &#8220;have tried to instigate cross-strait confrontation, maliciously attacked and slandered the mainland&#8230; severely undermining cross-strait relations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She added that Beijing has prohibited them and their family members from entering the mainland, Hong Kong or Macau.<\/p>\n<p>Their affiliates would also be restricted from cooperating with mainland organisations and individuals, she said, without giving more details.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan&#8217;s Su on Friday brushed off the threat from Beijing, saying he &#8220;won&#8217;t be intimidated&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t (rule) Taiwan for one day but it&#8217;s bossing Taiwan around,&#8221; Su said of Beijing when asked about the list of &#8220;diehards&#8221; in parliament.<\/p>\n<p>The nationalist Kuomintang party fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing the Chinese civil war. <\/p>\n<p>The island of 24 million people has since transformed into a democracy and major tech hub, leading many &#8212; including President Tsai Ing-wen &#8212; to assert Taiwan&#8217;s distinct identity, which Beijing attacks as separatism.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan&#8217;s Mainland Affairs Council said on Friday that &#8220;intimidations and threats from an authoritarian regime are unacceptable&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Taiwan is a democratic society with the rule of law and it&#8217;s not under the jurisdiction of the other side,&#8221; it said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If (Beijing) disregards cross-strait relations to intentionally sabotage our democracy&#8230; our government will have to take necessary counter moves to protect the safety and welfare of our people, and China will have to take the responsibility for possible consequences.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The statement also said China aims to &#8220;create a chilling effect with vile and unfriendly moves&#8221; to force people of a different political stance into submission and that &#8220;Taiwanese people will never compromise&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing-Taipei ties have plunged since Tsai rose to power in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those who forget their ancestors, betray their motherland and split the country will not come to a good end,&#8221; Zhu said.<\/p>\n<p>The comments came a day after the head of a visiting European Parliament delegation to Taipei called Taiwan&#8217;s democracy &#8220;a treasure&#8221; to be protected, promising to stand with the island.<\/p>\n<p>China has dramatically ramped up military activities in recent years, with a record number of planes intruding into the island&#8217;s air defence identification zone in early October.<\/p>\n<p>burs-tjx\/dva<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beijing (AFP), Nov 5 &#8211;
