Taiwanese officials questioned by Chinese security during trip to mainland China

Two Taiwanese government employees were questioned by Chinese security officials during a trip to mainland China. The officials had their phones and communication records examined. The incident occurred in April when two clerks from the Immigration Agency and Customs Administration were on a tourist visit. Chinese security personnel entered their hotel rooms late at night to interrogate them about their personal and professional lives. The Mainland Affairs Council warned that China is expanding its targets beyond military and police to include other government personnel. They advised public servants to report travel plans and avoid unnecessary trips to China.
