The council released the minutes of a committee meeting on China’s “legal war” against Taiwan and possible response measures. The “legal war” aims to unilaterally define jurisdiction over Taiwan to legitimize annexing the nation based on Beijing’s so-called “democratic negotiations,” while preparing to negate Taiwanese legislation, the minutes said. The National Security Law imposed by Beijing in Hong Kong is a model for China to draw up Taiwan-related regulations, the minutes said. China’s legal war against Taiwan operates in tandem with other public opinion, psychological and diplomatic tactics, a committee member said. Another committee member said that China has never abided by the rule of law, but only uses laws to achieve its political aims.
