CHINA-TAIWAN

 Following Chinese President Xi Jinping's first public remarks on cross-strait relations since Tsai’s victory last week when he said that Beijing would “resolutely contain Taiwan secessionist activities in any form”,  Li Yihu, a Deputy to the NPC and key advisor on Beijing’s Taiwan policies, recommended on March 10, 2016, that Beijing should set up a “reward and penalty scheme” for all Taiwanese entrepreneurs doing business on the mainland to single out those with pro-independence tendencies. Calling Taiwanese investors doing business on the mainland while supporting the mainland-sceptic Democratic Progressive Party as “two-faced”, Li Yihu said “Some ‘green’ businessmen from Taiwan make money on the mainland but also support pro-independence activities in Taiwan. There should be a system of rewards and punishments to address the problem of ‘two-faced’ businessmen.” Beijing, he said, should start a data base about Taiwanese businessmen’s activities on the island.
