💨 Abstract

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council has criticized China for attempting to issue Chinese ID cards to Taiwanese citizens, claiming it as an effort to falsely assert legal sovereignty over Taiwan. The controversy arises from claims that 200,000 Taiwanese citizens have obtained Chinese ID cards over the past decade. Taiwanese authorities have warned citizens about the lack of personal data protection in China and urged them not to apply for Chinese ID cards.
