Taipei: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is urging residents of Kinmen and Lienchiang counties to obtain Chinese ID cards to “blur national identities.” This initiative is part of China’s strategy to create a “Kinmen-Xiamen twin-city living sphere, which includes a cross-strait integration pilot zone within China’s Fujian Province,” as reported by Taipei Times.
“The CCP is treating individuals from these outlying islands as Chinese citizens. Additionally, it has amplified its ‘united front’ strategies and the infiltration of these islands.” “There is growing evidence of espionage activities in Kinmen, particularly involving the recruitment of Taiwanese military personnel by the CCP,” the Taipei Times reported.
The CCP’s distribution of Chinese IDs and residence permits to obscure the identities of Taiwanese nationals in Kinmen and Lienchiang mirrors a tactic previously used by Russia in the Donbas region before the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “Bestowing citizenship upon a large number of pro-Russian residents resulted in numerous individuals with dual identities who were less resistant to invasion,” they noted, adding that China aims to replicate this approach in light of its potential invasion plans.
