Taiwan's MAC Advises Caution for 'High-Risk Nationals' Traveling to China Following Interrogation Incident
Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) has issued a strong advisory for Taiwanese individuals considered 'high risk' to carefully evaluate the necessity of traveling to China. This warning follows an incident where a Taiwanese national was interrogated for six hours upon arrival in Shanghai due to his past work with Amnesty International. The interrogation focused on his duties, involvement in human rights advocacy concerning China, Hong Kong, Uyghurs, or Tibet, and contacts with politicians and activists. The individual, who had already left the organization and was traveling for personal reasons, was eventually released after threatening to forgo entry and returned to Taiwan. The MAC stated that this incident is consistent with other known cases and warned that China's new entry and exit regulations, effective September 15, could significantly increase risks for Taiwanese nationals.
