Taiwan rebukes China over firing of minister's relative
10 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 7
Taipei's Mainland Affairs Council said a company operating in China apparently dismissed the relative for supporting Taiwan independence, according to Chinese state media.
The council accused the Chinese Communist Party of using methods with no civilised bottom line that damage Taiwanese businesses' normal operations and hurt cross-strait relations.
The dispute adds to tensions between Taiwan and China, with Taipei framing the reported dismissal as political pressure extending into commercial activity.

Will China's economic pressure backfire by pushing critical global supply chains away from its shores?
Can Taiwan's new societal resilience strategy truly counter Beijing's escalating 'gray zone' coercion?
