China's rhetoric turns dangerously real for Taiwanese

China's recent rhetoric toward Taiwan has become increasingly alarming, moving from familiar threats to actions that could directly impact Taiwanese citizens. Beijing has intensified its campaign against so-called "Taiwanese separatists," urging people to report those suspected of supporting Taiwan's independence. The Chinese government has hinted at severe penalties, including the possibility of the death penalty for those identified as leaders of separatist activities. This escalation in rhetoric is heightening fears among the Taiwanese and raising concerns about the potential for conflict.
