Civil servants, officials should not possess any Chinese govt-issued ID: Taiwan govt. Military personnel, civil servants, and educators would be dismissed from service if they are found to hold any Chinese government-issued documents. If found guilty, such officials would lose their job to serve the government, and their Taiwanese citizenship would be stripped off. Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te, during an event in Taipei on Friday, said that China poses a great security threat to Taiwan’s sovereignty and democracy. The decision follows after Taiwan’s Ministry of Civil Service last week issued notices to the local governments urging civil servants to sign the pledge of not having any Chinese residency or any other similar Chinese identification. Taiwan alleges that the Chinese Communist Party uses its ‘United Front’ strategy to gather intelligence and influence public decisions in the country. China considers Taiwan as its inalienable part while Taiwan outrightly rejects such claims. It said possession of Chinese documents is a threat to the security of Taiwan, and also questions their loyalty towards the nation.
