Codifying Coercion: China’s Anti-Secession Law and the Threat to Taiwan’s Sovereignty
- On March 14, 2005, CCP General Secretary Hu Jintao signed the Anti-Secession Law (ASL) into law. The ASL is relatively short and vague in its provisions, but this vagueness gives the PRC the flexibility to selectively enforce the ASL in ways that serve one of the PRC‘s foremost strategic goals: destroying Taiwan‘s sovereignty and ultimately annexing it into the PRC. The PRC uses the ASL extensively in its legal warfare efforts to erode the Taiwanese government‘s legitimacy and justify its coercive threats and actions against Taiwan as lawful domestic policy.
- Despite its title, the ASL does not actually define or criminalize ＂secession.＂ The ASL consists of 10 short articles, most of which articulate the PRC‘s claims to authority over Taiwan and its intent to politically ＂reunify＂ Taiwan with the PRC. It asserts that ＂there is only one China in the world＂ and ＂both the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China,＂ and declares that ＂the state shall never allow the ‘Taiwan independence‘ secessionist forces to make Taiwan secede from China under any name or by any means.＂
[Key Points]
- The People‘s Republic of China‘s (PRC) 2005 Anti-Secession Law supports and enables a range of coercive policies designed to erode Taiwan‘s sovereignty.
- The Anti-Secession Law‘s political significance has increased in recent years as the PRC grows stronger militarily and more aggressive toward Taiwan.
- Under the PRC‘s recent efforts to enforce the Anti-Secession Law worldwide, Taiwanese citizens face serious risks to their freedom and safety, including lengthy prison sentences or execution for supposed ＂separatist＂ crimes.
