大陆颁布意见台独可判死刑 是为武统做准备？ China threatens death penalty for Taiwan separatists

中国大陆司法与国安机关上个星期五联合发布惩治台独顽固分子的22条司法意见，将组织、策划、实施台独活动、推动法理台独、在国际上推动台独等都确定为分裂国家罪。依据情节的严重程度，可以被判处没收财产、有期徒刑、无期徒刑，最重可以判处死刑。如果被告人在境外，可以缺席审判，而且会被终身追责。

在海峡彼岸，台湾陆委会当天立即回应表示，北京当局的做法只会挑起两岸人民的对立，严重影响两岸人民往来交流，无助于两岸关系的良性发展，是极度不文明的粗暴挑衅。

大陆的22条司法意见早在今年5月26日就对内印发，直到上个星期五才发布实施。北京为何要在这时候推出22条惩治台独的司法意见？它能达到什么效果？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和台湾致理科技大学国际贸易系副教授张弘远以及《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远解析颁布22条司法意见，是否是北京武统的前奏？

Last Friday, China issued judicial guidelines criminalising Taiwan separatist activities, with punishments running from property confiscation to death penalties. 

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council quickly condemned the move as a provocation that would harm cross-strait relations.

The guidelines, internally circulated in May and only implemented last week, sparked speculation about Beijing's motives and potential impact. 

In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong explores whether these new guidelines could be a prelude to military action with Associate Professor Chang Hung Yuan from the Department of International Trade, Chihlee University of Technology and Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan.
